Christian Louboutin: L'Exhibition[nist]

Paris (F) > 26.02. - 03.01.2021

From 26 February 2020, the Palais de la Porte Dorée will present a major exhibition devoted to the work and creativity of Christian Louboutin, the internationally renowned footwear designer and key figure in the fashion world. Designed as an invitation to discover Christian Louboutin’s rich universe, the exhibition will explore every facet of his multi-referential work, in an institution that has played an important role in inspiring his vocation. From the beginning, Christian Louboutin infused his designs with a great wealth of motifs and colours inspired by his love of art and different cultures. Flamboyant, daring, open to the world, generous and at times caustic, the designer’s creativity is informed by a passion for travel and references from the worlds of pop culture, theatre, dance, literature and cinema.

Harper’s Bazaar, premier magazine de mode

Paris (F) > 28.02. - 04.01.2021

À l’occasion de la réouverture des galeries de la mode, entièrement rénovées grâce au mécénat de Stephen et Christine Schwarzman, le Musée des Arts Décoratifs présente du 28 février au 14 juillet 2020 une grande exposition consacrée au célèbre magazine de mode américain Harper’s Bazaar. Soixante créations de couture et de prêt-à-porter, issues essentiellement des collections du musée, ponctuées de prêts de pièces iconiques prestigieuses sont présentées en correspondance avec leur parution dans ce magazine. Le regard des grands photographes et illustrateurs qui ont fait le renom de Bazaar est ainsi mis en perspective pour résumer un siècle et demi d’histoire de mode. Man Ray, Salvador Dali, Richard Avedon, Andy Warhol, ou encore Peter Lindbergh ont, en effet, contribué à l’esthétique hors pair du magazine. « Harper’s Bazaar, premier magazine de mode » retrace les moments forts de cette revue mythique, son évolution depuis 1867, en rendant hommage aux personnalités qui l’ont façonnée : Carmel Snow, Alexey Brodovitch et Diana Vreeland. Tous trois, à partir des années trente propulsent le magazine dans la modernité de la mode et du graphisme instaurant une exigence qui fait encore école. La scénographie, tout comme la rénovation et l’aménagement des galeries, a été confiée à l’architecte et designer Adrien Gardère.

Mary Quant

Dundee (UK) > bis 17.01.2021

Mary Quant disrupted the fashion establishment, connecting with an energised, youthful audience looking for something fresh and fun. From rising hemlines to androgynous shapes and styling, Quant captured the zeitgeist of the moment. This exhibition is the first international retrospective on the iconic British designer who started a fashion revolution that a whole generation wanted to take part in. Quant designed clothes that made people feel good, making quality designer fashion affordable through her playful brand, signified by the trademark daisy. Quant encouraged a new age of feminism, inspiring young women to rebel against the traditional clothing worn by their mothers and grandmothers. Her shop Bazaar opened in 1955, the year after World War Two food rationing ended, her playful designs a colourful reaction against the drab austerity of post-war London. Quant is famous for popularising the miniskirt, but her designs offered many different versions of femininity, challenging the conventional gender stereotypes of post-war Britain. Key objects featured within the exhibition include the pioneering ‘Wet Collection’ PVC rainwear, a jute miniskirt, and designs that playfully subverted menswear – at a time when women were still banned from wearing trousers in formal settings such as restaurants.

JAY JAXON: 40 Years Of Fashion Design Brilliance

New York (USA) > 08.02. - 01.12.2020

Die Jay Jaxon Ausstellung feiert das Leben des aus Queens stammenden Jay Jaxon als amerikanischer Modedesigner, Haute Couture Designer und Kostümdesigner. Darüber hinaus wird die Geschichte von Jaxon wiederhergestellt, indem Artefakte und Objekte aus seinen persönlichen Designarchiven sowie Primärquellen aus der Forschung der Modewissenschaftlerin und Gastkuratorin Rachel Fenderson ausgestellt werden. Jay Jason Jaxon wurde am 30. August 1941 in Queens, New York, geboren. Jaxon wurde Modedesigner und prägte die Betonstraßen von New York City sowie die Kopfsteinpflasterstraßen von Paris und den Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles. Als Jay Jaxon nach Frankreich zog, begann der Beginn seiner Karriere in Paris einige Monate vor dem Ermordung des Bürgerrechtsführers Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Amerika sowie der massive studentische Protest im Mai 1968 in Paris. Jaxon sammelte eine Fülle von Designkenntnissen, indem er für diese Couture-Maisons arbeitete: Jean-Louis Scherrer, Yves Saint Laurent und Marc Bohan für Christian Dior als Assistant Designer. Mitte der 70er Jahre kehrte Jaxon nach New York City zurück und kreierte erneut seine eigenen Kollektionen.

Monet, Renoir... Chagall. Voyages en Méditerranée

Paris (F) > 28.02.2020 - 03.01.2021

Une création Gianfranco Iannuzzi - Renato Gatto - Massimiliano Siccardi - avec la collaboration musicale de Luca Longobardi.

This exhibition presents an itinerary that spans the period between Impressionism and modernism. After the exhibition devoted to Van Gogh, the new digital exhibition will highlight the link between artistic creativity and the Mediterranean shores, as the principal centres of the modernist movement. The exhibition will immerse visitors in the masterpieces of twenty artists, including Renoir, Monet, Pissarro, Matisse, Signac, Derain, Vlaminck, Dufy, and Chagall, amongst others.
In seven sequences lasting forty minutes, visitors will be taken from one artistic movement to another: from Impressionism, with Monet and Renoir, to pointillism with Signac and Cross, and Fauvism with Camion, Derain, Vlaminck, and Marquet... and, of course, Matisse. The immersive exhibition will also retrace the fascination of Bonnard and Dufy for the Mediterranean, and eventually focus on one of the greatest colourists of modern art—Chagall. More than 500 works, which are now held in collections around the globe, will fill the Atelier des Lumières with their bright colours and highlight the variations in the works of these great artists on the Mediterranean shores, which inspired them to take their work to its finest expression.

Cecil Beaton's Bright Young Things

Online >

Our Spring 2020 exhibition explored the extravagant world of the glamorous and stylish ‘Bright Young Things’ of the twenties and thirties, seen through the eye of renowned British photographer Cecil Beaton.  It brought to life a deliriously eccentric, glamorous and creative era of British cultural life, combining High Society and the avant-garde, artists and writers, socialites and partygoers.
Featuring the leading cast of the ‘Bright Young Things’, many of whom Beaton would call friends – Anna May Wong, Oliver Messel and Stephen Tennant among others, this show charted Beaton’s transformation from middle-class suburban schoolboy to glittering society figure and the unrivalled star of Vogue.
This exhibition ran from the 12 March 2020 until the Gallery’s Covid-19 related closure on 17 March.

The Exodus of the Parisians in 1940

Paris (F) > 27.02. - 13.12.2020

80 years ago, in May and June 1940, the French were forced to flee along roads to the West and South as the Germans advanced. This so-called exodus concerned 8 million people and three quarters of Parisians. Spring was complete chaos with congested roads, abandoned businesses and distraught families. A French tragedy, the focus of an exhibition from 27 February to 13 December 2020 at the Musée de la Libération – Musée du Général Leclerc – Musée Jean Moulin. Talks and readings of texts run alongside the event.
