Amber. The Phenomenon of Nature and Culture – Jewelry and Fashion Show at the Teutonic Castle in Malbork

It was an extraordinary fashion show in an extraordinary place – the Grand Refectory in the Teutonic Castle in Malbork. It was there that I had the exceptional pleasure of presenting my remarkable Amber Beauty amber jewelry collection.

The Teutonic Castle in Malbork is a natural place for amber – once the Teutonic Order strictly controlled its extraction, today the Castle Museum housed within its walls boasts an exceptional amber collection presented at the permanent exhibition “Amber Contexts“. The fashion show was an opportunity to remind about this exhibition, where works of ancient masters, such as a casket and reliquary by Michel Redlin and a casket by Christoph Maucher, as well as contemporary recognized artists, including Paulina Binek and Jarosław Westermark, are displayed.

Therefore, it was an even greater honor to be invited to participate in the show Amber. The Phenomenon of Nature and Culture, which began with a presentation of achievements by the winners of the National Fashion Contest “Black on White” named after Jagoda Komorowska for young designers. In the second part, the runway featured the excellent duo of Magdalena Arłukiewicz (fashion) & Aleksander Gliwiński (amber jewelry) and the perfectly synchronized duo of Barbara Piekut (fashion) & Ireneusz Glaza (amber jewelry), who have been well-coordinated over several shows on runways in Poland and Italy.
