In April 2024, the Musée des Arts décoratifs will open a new exhibit in
the rooms housing the permanent collection devoted to contemporary
design, from levels 5 to 9 of the Pavillon de Marsan.
For the first time, this
presentation will include a selection of fashion and jewellery creations:
some thirty couture or ready-to-wear pieces and approximately fifty
accessories and jewellery creations that resonate with the museum’s design
masterpieces from the 20th century to the present day. In this context, with
recent additions to the rooms hosting the Lalanne bequest and the new
acquisitions of the Design Circle, the chosen fashion and jewellery works will
sublimate the design and artisanal creations already on display, whether in
terms of similarities in form or design, or chronologically. This presentation
pays a special tribute to the couturiers and creators who have recently
contributed to the enrichment of the museum’s collections by means of
generous donations.
Discover the creations of Balmain, Andrea Crews, Comme des Garçons,
Schiaparelli, Issey Miyake, Xuly Bët, Fred Sathal, Elizabeth de Senneville,
Valentino, Paco Rabanne, Christian Dior, Hermès, Lanvin, Louis Vuitton,
Van Cleef and Arpels, Line Vautrin, Gilles Jonemann, Helmut Lang,
Christian Astuguevieille, and many others.
