ABOUT OUR COLLECTIONS

Dear visitors,

The exhibition 'Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto' is currently on display on both levels of the museum.

To discover our permanent collections, we invite you to visit us in Spring 2021. For the first time in the history of the Palais Galliera, the new galleries on the ground floor will offer you a new perspective on the history of fashion, from the 18th century to the present day, through a renewed tour of our collections.

Donation of Gucci – Paris Vogue Foundation 2018
Palais Galliera, musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris

This silhouette, entirely made of bishop's purple Lurex lamé, is embellished with golden pine cones with green foliage inspired by the drawings of the ancient grotesques. This richness of materials is added to a real search for shapes, demonstrated by the wide hat with its raised pass at the back, inspired by fishermen's hats. The back is fully embroidered with an impressive radiant motif, overlooking two birds facing each other surrounded by pearls.

This new donation illustrates the theatrical, delirious and cultivated aesthetic of Gucci, staged since 2015 by its artistic director Alessandro Michele.
