Alexander Vasiliev in Stuttgart. "Fashion and eroticism: from the Diaghilev era to the Madonna era" 22 November 2025

An evening not to be missed

On November 22 you will meet Alexander Vasiliev - fashion historian, art historian , collector, TV presenter and bestselling author.
His new lecture is a lively three-hour story about how the fashion of the twentieth century reflected changes in the perception of sex, beauty and relationships between men and women.

What it will be about

This will not be a dry report, but almost a theatrical mono-performance - with archival photos, personal stories and subtle humor.

You will learn:

• What techniques in clothing have been used for centuries to seduce.
• How sexual revolutions and cultural shifts changed fashion.
• What standards of beauty ruled in different decades.
• How feminism and machoism influenced style.

Alexander Vasiliev will offer you a fresh look at fashion - as a mirror of society and a tool of communication without words.

Why this is a special evening
