Dóra Konsánszky is a designer applied artist. After graduating from the Collage of Applied Arts she won a scholarship to Paris on the application posted by the Nina Ricci house and Air France. In the capitol of fashion she studied three-dimensional tailoring, more precisely all the subterfuge of the French corset making at the Haute Couture.

The corsets are so called structural linens. They reshape the female body according to the ideal of the given period. Corset making is related to sculpturing: the utilization of its elements in fashion design makes the dresses statue like. The first corsets were made of iron in the second half of the 16th century. Later they were covered by textile and the iron was replaced by fishbone. It was the voluntary means of torment for the ladies until the beginning of the 20th century. 100 years ago the ladies wished to become thinner by the help of the thick textile wrapped around fishbone on their wastes called mieder. There were corsets for everyday use as well as wearing them with evening gowns, traveling, sleeping, playing sports, and to breast-feed. The pieces used nowadays are made of more comfortable materials like lycra, spandex and other elastic material. The selection of Dóra Konsánszky is very feminine but at the same time may be worn without permanent impairment.

The exhibition presents the imaginary selection Dóra Konsánszky made for this occasion. It is enmeshed and pervaded with the spirituality and technique of corset making. The 12 pieces are all artworks. Every piece represent the basis of one element in the slop-room of an elegant woman: rope, pajama, lingerie, classic corset, woman’s suit, cocktail dress, evening gown, and finally the wedding dress. All of them are a little recomposed, abstracte, made artworks of fine material, ornamentation, and techniqual solutions. The dresses are given fantasy names: 'Marlene' (jacket), 'Dietrich' (skirt), 'Dawn' (rope), 'Fin du siecle' (night gown), Dangerous Liaisons (Coctail dress) 'Full moon' (evening dress).

Beside the installation of the dresses there are photos on the walls, which partly show the dresses on female bodies emphasizing the piquancy of corsets, partly show the beauty of the details of the shown artworks.
