Through this design that adapts an architectural style to a decorative art form, Van Herpen creates kinship between her dress and many contemporaneous Gothic pieces. These include monstrances, reliquaries and altarpieces, works placed at the rear of an altar, with a slender structure and sculptural forms.*<br /> <br /> <br /> 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 /> 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. It became a royal residence in 1364 and was modified over the centuries according to changing styles and royal preferences. The Grande Galerie was built between 1595 and 1610, during the reign of Henri IV.<br /> In 1791, during the French Revolution, it was decreed that the Louvre should become a museum of the arts. The Muséum Central des Arts was inaugurated in 1793, and thereafter the palace was increasingly given over to the museum collections and their display to the public. From 1981 to 1989, the Pyramid project focused on putting visitors at the heart of the museum and its collections. The Department of Islamic Art was inaugurated in 2012. The opening of the new rooms of the Department of Byzantine and Eastern Christian Art is scheduled for 2028.<br /> [*Musée du Louvre]</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/11561957@N06/">failing_angel</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/11561957@N06/55570361987/" title="Dior and Serre"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55570361987_064d68e64d_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="Dior and Serre" /></a></p> <p>Christian Dior<br /> John Galliano<br /> Collection Haute Couture<br /> Automne/Hiver 2006-2007<br /> Silk faille and organza gown with painted horsehair bands<br /> <br /> For this collection, John Galliano's inspirations included a nighttime viewing of the 1942 Marcel Carné film The Devil's Envoys, set in 1485 in a castle in France in the late Middle Ages. The remarkable medieval costumes of this dark fantasy impressed Galliano, but he replaced the obligatory black and white of Carné's production with a dazzling array of vivid colours. This piece, titled 'Trompette', is among the best examples of both the troubadour style and the film's distinctive fantastical vision of medieval fashion.*<br /> <br /> <br /> Marine Serre<br /> Marine Serre<br /> Collection « Rising Shelter »<br /> Prêt-à-Porter Automne/Hiver 2023-2024<br /> <br /> For her 'Rising Shelter' collection, Marine Serre explored the concept of a woman warrior in an apocalyptic world. She dresses in tapestry fragments, creating a novel style of camouflage dress. This coat comprises sections of fabric depicting animals, flowers and other decorative patterns such as volutes. <br /> By reusing what were originally decorative arts textiles, Serre does more than create a garment: she proposes a new piece of art with a rich heritage, at once medieval and contemporary.*<br /> <br /> <br /> Christian Dior<br /> Maria Grazia Chozi<br /> Collection Haute Couture<br /> Automne/Hiver 2014-2015<br /> Chain print silk <br /> <br /> <br /> 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.

Its short length, the period's menswear, is adapted for a women's garment. The shape, cinched at the waist and puffing out above the knee, evokes the sayons or cassocks worn in the Hunts of Maximilian tapestry series. The unusual tubular folds are reminiscent of the ruffs that adorned Late Renaissance collars. The upper bodice resembles a men's doublet, which was worn over a shirt, with the addition of a highly feminine short train.*<br /> <br /> <br /> 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.
