From October 1, 2024, to March 30, 2025, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs
celebrates the 35th anniversary of the ANDAM (National Association for the
Development of Fashion Arts) through a selection of 17 fashion silhouettes,
showcasing its visionary perspective on young creation. The Musée des Arts
Décoratifs is home to the national collection of fashion and textiles, which
is among the world’s most substantial, spanning from the 18th century to the
present. Since 1989, ANDAM has annually awarded emerging designers
from the French and international scenes, providing them with the means,
through its competition and comprehensive support program, to establish
themselves sustainably in the fashion landscape. The collaboration between
the Musée des Arts Décoratifs and ANDAM aims to highlight these new
fashion players. Winners are invited to offer emblematic pieces from their
award-winning collections each year, enriching the museum’s archives
of contemporary fashion. Through themes such as the art of tailoring,
body deformation, or transparency, the silhouettes and accessories of the
2023 and 2024 winners converse with those of their predecessors from
the Museum’s collections. This presentation highlights ANDAM’s openness
to the diversity of fashion, which is characterized by aesthetic proposals,
technical research and craftsmanship, and the expression of each creator’s
personal universe.
With the support of ANDAM, Nathalie Dufour, Founder
and CEO of ANDAM, and its President Guillaume Houzé, Director of Image
and Communication, Member of the Executive Committee of the Galeries
Lafayette Group, President of the Galeries Lafayette Corporate Foundation.
