Most people limit association of the word ‘fashion’ to Paris, London, and Milan, but before WWII, Vienna was classified as one of Europe’s fashion capitals. Jewish people were involved in this exciting industry as designers, manufacturers, and purveyors of fashion. Using a range of sources, including photographs, artwork, and contemporary periodicals, this session will explore the participation of Vienna’s Jews in their city’s fashion and textile industry during its golden age before the National Socialist annexation of Austria in March 1938.
