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 passage n°52 of the spring-summer 2019 Givenchy ready-to-wear collection by Clare Weight Keller is representative of the designer's style. The asymmetrical dress is constructed using pleats, a technique dear to Waight Keller's heart, a technique already seen at Chloé, for which she is artistic director between 2011 and 2017. The harmony of subtle shades, between honey and very pale mint green, is another key to reading her work, as is the inclination for the aesthetics of the 80s, visible through the large frontal pleated flounce that adorns the front of the bodice or the taste for the 30s, with the bias technique.

Finally, the accessories that complete this ensemble, decorated with amethyst and prehnite stones, are faithful to the discretion that the British designer has always shown.
