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.

Georges Lepape (1887–1971) began his art training at the Atelier Humbert in 1902, continued at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts, and showed for the first time at the Salon d'Automne in 1910. At the Salon he met Paul Poiret, then in search of an illustrator capable, like Paul Iribe in his Paul Poiret's Dresses As Seen by Paul Iribe of 1908, of creating a luxury presentation album for his collections. The result was Paul Poiret's Things…As Seen by Georges Lepape.

Lepape went on to become a leading press illustrator: between 1912 and 1925 his stencilled plates featured in every issue of the Gazette du Bon Ton and he was called on by other magazines including Femina, Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar and L’Illustration. The real turning point in his career came when publisher Condé Nast asked him to work for Vogue. The study on display here – executed for Vogue – betrays the Russian influences behind the work of this precursor of the 'clear line' style, with its emphasis on areas of bright, solid colour.
