Not only women’s evening dresses, but also the uniforms of civil servants used to be decorated with elaborately crafted trimmings. These haberdashery items are called »passements«. Some very special ones will be presented as part of a fashion show. This will be accompanied by the ERZ-BÖHMISCHEN brass ensemble. Because there is a historical con- nection between music and the production of passements in the Ore Mountains. During times where there was no work, men and women were forced to earn money as musicians. The highlight will be a performance during which dancers will wrap ribbons around an up- right pole to create a vivid impression of running yarn in bobbin lace-making.
