Royal Exhibition
The Elsa Fitzgerald Gabrielle dress was exhibited alongside historic garments belonging to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor at Heirloom to Haute, held in the iconic Calvert Ballroom of the Lord Baltimore Hotel. Presented in dialogue with these remarkable pieces of fashion history, Gabrielle reflects Elsa Fitzgerald’s enduring fascination with couture, craftsmanship, and the legacy of beautifully made clothes. The exhibition brought together historic dress and contemporary couture in a celebration of Baltimore’s rich fashion heritage.
The Asian blouse that tells a tale of many cultures
The kebaya is a traditional garment worn across Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, and southern Thailand. In Stube’s own family history, it was sewn by her seamstress great-grandmother in the Indonesian islands.
Across each region, the kebaya has evolved into distinct forms shaped by local culture, with every stitch carrying layers of history and identity. In recognition of its shared cultural significance, the five countries jointly nominated the kebaya for UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List in March 2023.
