While the crinoline is a reference to women's clothing contemporary to the apartments of the Ministry of State, Yohji Yamamoto has not opted for a garment whose splendour is reflected in its ornamentation, as is the case in these rooms. Instead, this look is a poetic concept that plays on the garment's presence and the emotions it provokes.*<br /> <br /> <br /> In the Galerie d'Introduction, Napoléon III apartments, for the exhibition<br /> <br /> Louvre Couture - Art and Fashion: Statement Pieces<br /> (January – August 2025)<br /> <br /> Although we have known since the days of Paul Cézanne that ‘the Louvre is the book from which we learn to read’, this inexhaustible wellspring of inspiration has also nourished one of contemporary art’s liveliest domains: the world of fashion. More and more, research and monographs dedicated to the greats of fashion have boldly begun to trace aesthetic family trees, establishing these figures in a historical and artistic context. The pattern is not merely one of disruptions, with various degrees of radical innovation, or of seasonal changes, but also one of echoes and evocations. The threads weaving their way between the work of great fashion figures and the world of art are almost endless, and the history of art as expressed by the Musée du Louvre, in the depth of its collections and in the ways it reflects the tastes of days gone by, is an equally vast terrain of influences and sources.<br /> In consideration of the Louvre’s encyclopaedic immensity, this exhibition follows a methodological approach geared towards exploring the history of decorative styles, art professions and ornamentation through the galleries of the Department of Decorative Arts, where textiles are omnipresent – though generally in tapestries and other décor items rather than in articles of clothing.<br /> Over a nearly 9,000-square-metre space, 65 designs are displayed, along with a number of accessories, newly illuminating the close historical dialogue that continues to take place between the world of fashion and the department’s greatest masterpieces, from Byzantium to the Second Empire. Each of these garments and accessories is on special loan from the most iconic fashion houses, both long-standing and recent, in Paris and throughout the world.<br /> The pieces will not be displayed aimlessly throughout the Department of Decorative Arts, but rather will serve as an occasion to highlight existing parallels: the department owes part of its collection to the generosity of great fashion figures, from Jacques Doucet to Madame Carven. These countless connections embrace common methodological ground in the fields of art history and fashion: knowledge of ancestral techniques, visual culture and the subtle interplay of references, from the catalogue raisonné of the museum to the moodboard of the fashion world. ‘Louvre Couture’ offers a new perspective on decorative arts through the prism of contemporary fashion design.*<br /> <br /> Galerie d'introduction (the entrance gallery)<br /> The gilded wood furniture in the entrance gallery matches the decor: the frieze of rosettes adorning the seats and console table is identical to that on the wood panelling; the ribbon-tied sheaves on the seatbacks are the same as those in the overdoor panels. In 1860, the artist Charles Daubigny (1817-1878) was commissioned for two paintings, The Herons and The Stags. The original carpet by Braquenié (now replaced) echoed the design on the ceiling, as requested by the architect Lefuel (1810-1882).*<br /> <br /> Taken in Musée du Louvre<br /> <br /> The Louvre began as a fortress with thick defensive walls, built in 1190 during the reign of Philippe Auguste.

The paradoxical combination of volume and lightness is in keeping with the decorative fashions of the Second Empire (1852-1870).
