The Dusk Dialogues series of talks at Palazzo Falson, in Mdina, continues on May 12 with a conversation on fashion, featuring special guests Caroline Tonna and Maria Muscat.
The talk aims to spark dialogue around fashion, highlighting the historical significance of the stories garments can tell when presented in the right spaces, as well as addressing the traditions that risk being lost from one generation to the next.
Tonna is a dress historian and multidisciplinary artist who has a lifelong passion for discovering stories hidden in historic costumes. She is currently exploring a project on historic dress in private collections to develop a digital fashion heritage archive.
Muscat is a hands-on seamstress with skills in many handicrafts from shoe-making, pattern cutting, sewing, costume jewellery fabrication, embroidery, beading and hat-making with a passion for repurposing old fabrics, garments and trims.
Booking at bookings@palazzofalson.com is required as limited spaces are available.
The event starts at 6.30pm, with doors open at 6pm. It is being held in collaboration with Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti, and the support of Marsovin.
