Tour of the Dalida exhibition

Dalida, a fashion and music icon, is celebrated by the Palais Galliera Museum in Paris through the "Dalida: her Wardrobe from the City to the Stage" exhibition, from 27 April to 13 August 2017. This exhibition, organized thanks to a donation of some 300 dresses and gowns from her brother Orlando, highlights Dalida's passion for fashion. It showcases items from leading couturiers such as Jacques Estérel, Balmain, Loris Azzaro, Michel Fresnay, Yves Saint Laurent and Jean-Claude Jitrois. The exhibition traces her artistic development through her city and stage outfits, which illustrate her sensitivity and fragility. The showbiz section places the spotlight on exotic, glamorous outfits, whilst the West Gallery displays her elegant city outfits. The exhibition concludes with a room devoted to her cinema world, with costumes and extracts from her filmography.
