Within the framework of Wilanow for Young Talents, tailoring trainees use various assets of the world of fashion, analyse available historical outfits and their iconography for the purpose of designing new patterns. The second edition of the program was dedicated to the remarkable figure of Helena Modjeska and, through her, to the fashions of the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. -- Contents: Foreword by Pawel Jaskanis; Wilanow for Young Talents; From Distance to Temptation; Helena Modjeska's Costumes in the Light of Fashion of Her Age [Humble Beginnings; French Dresses and French Plays; Shakespeare; An Icon of Good Taste]; Modjeska's New Image; Jury & Laureates of the Contest; Young Talents: Reconstructions; Lingerie: 1860 - 1910; Young Talents: Inspirations; Helena Modjeska and Leopold Kronenberg: Passion and Determination.
