A stunning collection.The exhibition presents forty dresses by Worth, Fortuny, Babani, Lanvin, and so on, accompanied by accessories and also many photographs and portraits.

Her wardrobe, now conserved in the Palais Galliera was donated in 1964 and comprises more than hundred and sixty items. Her dresses, for day or night, in a style still influenced by the nineteenth century are amazingly striking. Often chosen in shades of green, a colour much favoured by the Countess, the dresses were often described, photographed and commented on in the press at that time.
