INTERNATIONAL FASHION HISTORY CONFERENCE
Speakers of the one-day conference are discussing whether Klara Rotschild was indeed the "Dior" of the Eastern Block as western papers regularly called her. Was she a unique phenomenon or each country behind the iron curtain had their top fashion designers compared to Chanel or Dior?
