ICR Romanian Cultural Institute London

The Golden Age of Couture

Doina Levintza comes to the UK to develop a new project in fashion design and theatre at the Romanian Cultural Institute in London for 2008. Her agenda includes a private view of "The Golden Age of Couture" exhibition at Victoria & Albert Museum, meetings with professionals from the fashion industry, set designers, journalists and fashion critics.

Levintza is a household name in Romania's fashion industry and her reputation for excellence goes far beyond state borders. In 1990 she set up her own modeling agency which specializes in theatre and film costumes and also in fashion. Her shows toured European and US fashion capitals such as Paris, Monte Carlo, London, Washington and New York.

Along with Dan Coma she was appointed "purveyor to the Royal Court of Romania" by HRH Princess Margarita, which is proof that "their creations can be placed at the same level with the big labels in the fashion industry".

When: 18-25 September 2007
