Giedrius Paulauskas:
reconstruction of partisan uniforms
The typeface used in Warriors of Freedom logo was reproduced from the partisan newspaper Laisvės Varpas.
Exhibits
During the exhibition “Warriors of Freedom” by fashion designer Giedrius Paulauskas, the six-year historical research of design and its results – a reconstructed partisan uniform and symbolic elements – were presented to the public for the first time.
The exhibition consists not only of the reconstructed partisan uniform, but also of exhibits, documents, and photos kept in the storages of Lithuanian museums and showing young faces of fighters who perhaps were not professional soldiers, but who nevertheless fought for the Lithuanian freedom with all their strength.
“The reconstructed clothes of the partisan period, their patterns, fabrics, tailors’ drawings and even stitches are authentic. They look new because they are freshly made. With this exhibition, I am paying tribute to the partisans, signalmen, and all those who fought for the freedom of Lithuania. The clearer we remember them, the longer they will live in our memory“, said the exhibition’s author designer Giedrius Paulauskas.
