There was a real treasure hidden in the wardrobe of Zdenka, a concert and fashion shows moderator in the deep communist era in the Czech Republic. Her father was persecuted and jailed for his opinions, therefore her younger sister Jana emigrated to France. Zdenka had nothing nice to wear, so Jana started to support her sister by fabrics and fashion magazines. Zdenka´s twin Helena started designing and sewing dresses inspired by Haute Coutoure magazines sent by Jana from Paris. Now the discovered robe collection was recovered from the wardrobe: after 50 years it is still dazzling and unique!
