Blanka Matragi Exhibition – Timeless: 30 Years of Creativity
Blanka Matragi is the energetic and unique fashion designer, artist, academic
painter and one of the most famous women from the Czech Republic. In 2003, she was given the title “Outstanding Czech-born
Woman of the World.” She has also received a Salvador Dalí award, the František Kupka Award in 2002. Blanka
is celebrating the past 30 years of her creativity and the establishment of a haute couture salon in Beirut, where she currently
lives; she has also focused on the areas of utility and industrial design in that city. Her clientele includes members of
royal families, wives of politicians, signifiant art and entrepreneurial personalities in the Czech Republic and other countries
around the world.
This year the Obecní dům celebrates 100 years as a cultural landmark. Architecture
and clothing design have long been cited as legacies of culture so it is appropriate that Blanka and the Obecní dům
are celebrating together. A new, permanent exposition of the archives and a show of contemporary creations, have opened. The
valuable archives of Blanka have been complemented with gifts from royal families. In addition to fashion, Blanka Matragi
is engaged in creating glass works, jewellery, and porcelain, inspired by cubism. She has published two autobiographical,
best-selling books. Blanka Matragi has enriched the capital city of Prague, and contributes to the development of culture
and prosperity.
