Garments and accessories–and the way in which they were worn–conveyed important messages about wealth, gender, age, social position, marital status and religion.

Using paintings, drawings and miniatures from the Royal Collection, and a number of rare surviving examples of clothing and accessories, it explores the style of the rich and famous of the Tudor and Stuart periods.

  Als einige St. Galler Kaufleute 1859 eine erste Erkundungsreise nach Ostasien initiierten, wirkten die gestickten Edelweisse auf den hiesigen Stoffen noch steif und leblos. Aus den Handelskontakten entwickelte sich schon bald ein reger Kulturaustausch. Der Katalog zur Ausstellung im Textilmuseum St. Gallen thematisiert in acht Beiträgen die Geschäfte und die westlichen Sehnsüchte nach exotischer Glückseligkeit. Er hebt den Schatz der ostasiatischen Sammlung des Textilmuseums und der ehemaligen Seidenwebschule Zürich ans Tageslicht und zeigt, wie sich der Kulturaustausch mit Japan und China im Design niederschlug.
