"...while Western fashion was taboo in the early 1950's, and in the early 1960's it was looked upon with envy, in the 1970's it was openly discussed, and in the 1980's the first manufacturing and licensing agreements were signed."
And as someone with an obsession to find the German sewing magazine, I could relate to:
"Due to insufficient supplies in shops, home sewing became a genuine phenomenon and for a certain time owning a copy of Burda magazine was an obsession."
I had no idea when we visited Trenčín that it was the fashion industry center and had yearly shows.
The last room talked about fashion magazines and crafting instructions.
