The special appeal of this costume may be more attractive than the artwork collected by its previous owner. Because they represent a relic of contact, because they promise the highest level of intimacy. In this regard, they are related to rock star ensemble guitars or football players’ jerseys, which are still soaked in sweat and tears.

A fashion history spanning her nearly 60 years of work. In this diversity, the spirit of its owner becomes visible. Fashion theorist Barbara Vinken described her attitude well in the catalog: “Hannelore Elsner is very brave, does not deny the shame of women, and does not want to overcome and whitewash it , But it was shown ironically. She put it on.”
