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.

This set, whose sophisticated skirt cut is inspired by the Amazon outfits of the late 19th century, particularly flatters the female body. "The fall of the kidneys - specifies the couturier in 1996, the arch of the lower back and the shape of the buttocks, it is much more important than the breasts. That's what makes a beautiful silhouette.

Like the collection, the butterflies printed on the blouse and lining of the jacket pay a new tribute to Arletty, and to her combination worn in Dominique Bernard-Deschamps' film Tempête (1940), with a bodice adorned with a large black satin lepidoptera. Moreover, this print evokes the influence of the seamstress Elsa Schiaparelli by echoing her "Papillon" collection from the summer of 1937, of which the Galliera Palace has an evening gown.
