ABOUT OUR COLLECTIONS

Dear visitors, 

After the success of "A History of Fashion", our second collections tour will open to the public in June 2023.

This next collections tour will be an opportunity for you to discover a new history of fashion, from the 18th century to the present day, through our exceptional collections presented in a new theme dedicated to the body in motion.

The link between fashion and sport will be the subject of the second display of this new collections tour, echoing the Olympic Games that will be held in Paris in 2024.

The Galliera Palace has the honour of preserving Cristobal Balenciaga's personal collection of historical clothing. Used for documentary purposes, this collection reveals the couturier's interest in 19th century fashion and liturgical garments. 

The influence of the embroidery techniques perfected during this century, as well as the magnificence of the clothes of the prelates, are evident in this short dress with flower motifs embroidered on tulle.
