Fabric Samples
In addition to fashion show programs, lists of buyers and fabric manufacturers, lists of the press and trend sketches, there are also fabric samples included in the press kit distributed for fashion shows.
This type of material is the only product element preserved in the archive that provides a more precise and concrete idea of the drawings and photographs, sometimes in black and white, of the garments designed for fashion houses and presented at fashion shows.
