The striking and elegant pieces on display were made for Edelstein’s assistant and muse, Anna Miller, who lived and worked in Edinburgh for much of her life. A cocktail dress, evening dress and three skirt suits showcase the design ethos and attention to detail of Victor Edelstein. Crepe silk bows, cut-glass buttons, fine woollen cloths and figure-flattering silhouettes show a side of 1980s fashion design far removed from the cliché of massive shoulder pads and sparkle.
Visitors to the display can also see the other costume and textiles treasures on show at the Museum of Edinburgh, including a pair of women’s 18th century silk shoes and the military dress uniforms of Field Marshal Earl Haig. Other aspects of design are explored in our silver and ceramics galleries.
