"This is truly beautiful 'fake' jewelry" - these are the words of Gabrielle Chanel, who deliberately combined genuine pearls with imitation pearls. For her, regardless of the material, true value lies in design and style.
Costume jewelry refers to fashion jewelry made from a variety of materials such as glass, shells, and resin, without the use of gemstones or precious metals. Paul Poiret pioneered costume jewelry in the early 20th century, freeing designers to propose free designs without being restricted by materials. Subsequently, French haute couture designers such as Chanel, Dior, and Schiaparelli enthusiastically adopted it. Eventually, costume jewelry became widely popular in Europe and mainly in America after the war, bringing not only the joy of adorning oneself to women of the time but also vitality, freedom, and the spirit of independence.
This exhibition is the first in Japan to introduce the historical development of costume jewelry from the early 20th century to the post-war period. Enjoy the charm of approximately 450 pieces of jewelry from the rare collection of Chisako Kotaki, along with related items such as dresses and fashion magazines from the time.
