Louvre Couture - Art and Fashion : Statement Piece

Art & Fashion - Publisher Louvre / Beaux Arts éditions - Softcover - 58 pages - Text in English - Published in 2025

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.

Exhibition Louvre Couture - Art and Fashion : Statement Piece, presented at the Louvre Museum, Paris (24 January – 21 July 2025).

The Louvre 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.

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.
