Gedankenspiele über die Eleganz

Is elegance an outdated word that is gradually disappearing from our vocabulary and is only superficially associated with fashion? Ilma Rakusa does not agree with either perspective. Instead, she emphasizes the many layers of elegance and its significance in the here and now. The social and political functions of the term should not be underestimated, just as the admirable elegance found in the arts and architecture should not be overlooked – and of course, we also find elegance in people's demeanor, whether in clothing or posture, gestures or glances. Ilma Rakusa, in her refined manner, reveals both inner and outer elegance.
