Art she crafted
Rotterdam ( NL) > 26.01.2026 - 27.09.2026
Art She Crafted presents and celebrates the ways women around the world, from ancient times to the present, have shaped art and culture. Their names are often absent from dominant art history. This exhibition brings to light the vital role women have played across all eras and continents in the development of artistic and cultural movements. It demonstrates their structural contributions to periods of cultural flourishing. In doing so, class also becomes evident: not all women had equal access to artistic opportunities or resources.
Guest curator Rajae El Mouhandiz selected dozens of stories, from paintings and manuscripts to textiles, fashion, design, photography, and installations. They reveal how women, despite structural exclusion, have always played an essential role as creators, patrons, collectors, donors, and innovators. The exhibition Art She Crafted invites visitors to rediscover art history through the eyes of women.
From textiles, embroidery, and ceramics to contemporary fashion, art, and photography, Art She Crafted reveals how women have shaped art and culture throughout the centuries. From queens to activists, from independent artists to collectors, women have played a vital role at every level of artistic development.
The exhibition takes a broad and inclusive look at art history. It explores who was able to create, for whom, and under what conditions. Visitors are invited to discover a richer, more diverse, and more truthful understanding of art and culture through the eyes of women.

In Shape
Den Bosch ( NL ) 07.02.2026 -14.06.2026
At a time when fitness routines, beauty filters and cosmetic procedures are ubiquitous, the body seems to have become something that is manufacturable and improveable. The body is no longer a given, but more and more a project. We work on it, knead and correct it to meet an ideal that is often unreachable.
That search for the ideal body is not new. For centuries we have been using all kinds of means to change our contours and adapt them to the prevailing beauty image. While the fashion kings and queens determined the silhouette, it was the underwear that actually shaped the body. Corsets strapped into the waist, bustles enlarged the buttocks, bras flattened the bosom or lifted it up, and briefs and belts made everything smooth.
In the exhibition In Shape, the body is central as a field where design, fashion and social norms intersect, and we show the role that underwear has played in it. The exhibition shows how we have shaped our bodies over the centuries, not only with textiles and technique, but also by power, identity and desires. Using underwear for different areas of focus such as shoulders, chest, waist, buttocks and hips, legs and cross, we show how attention shifted over time and what means were used for this.
Sometimes it is about forming the body about power and discipline, sometimes about temptation and consumption, often about both at the same time. Women's bodies, men's bodies, and all the bodies in between are treated differently in this process, but constantly touch each other in visual culture, fashion and desire. The exhibition In Shape makes it visible that design not only shapes our clothing, but also our bodies and challenges visitors to think about the strength, temptation and the risks of that manufacturability.

Fashion in the 18th Century. A Fantasized Legacy
Paris ( F ) 14.03.2026 - 12.07.2026
The Palais Galliera is hosting an exhibition titled Fashion in the 18th Century. A Fantasized Legacy that looks at the characteristics of women’s fashion during the Age of Enlightenment and its numerous reinterpretations throughout fashion history up until the present day. Often perceived as a distant, even dusty epoch, the eighteenth century nevertheless constitutes a major stage in the evolution of the female appearance that continues to influence the world of fashion and popular culture today.

Wolle Seide Wiederstand
Frankfurt ( D ) > 07. 02.2026 .– 24. 05.2026
Mit der Ausstellung Wolle. Seide. Widerstand. widmet sich das Museum Angewandte Kunst nach 45 Jahren erstmals wieder ausschließlich dem Thema Teppich – in einer Zeit, in der sich das große Interesse an handgefertigten Textilien aller Art im Übrigen in einer auffallenden Anzahl an internationalen Ausstellungen widerspiegelt.
Die Ausstellung präsentiert Teppiche internationaler, zeitgenössischer Künstler:innen, die sich mit Themen des politischen Widerstands, individueller und kollektiver Resilienz sowie Resistenz befassen. Ihr Widerstand richtet sich gegen als illegitim empfundene Herrschaftsordnungen und Machtausübungen, gegen Traditionalismus, Diskriminierung, Rassismus, Traumata oder Umweltzerstörung. Die Teppiche der Künstler:innen fungieren somit als plakative Medien für gesellschaftspolitische Kommentare. In gleicher Radikalität sprengen sie mitunter die Grenzen der Flächigkeit: Sie loten die Möglichkeiten des Dreidimensionalen aus, und entfalten sich als textile Skulpturen und immersive Erfahrungsräume, die sich durch ihre affektive Qualität an gegenwärtigen Lebensprozessen beteiligen.
Dabei zielt diese Ausstellung darauf ab, Teppiche nicht aus einem stilgeschichtlichen Blickwinkel zu betrachten, sondern sie vielmehr im Interesse einer Entwicklungslinie zu zeigen, die außerhalb einer traditionellen westlichen Teppichforschung steht. Schon der Titel deutet auf neue Fragestellungen hin: Kann etwas Widerständiges in und mit textilen Materialien stattfinden? Und wenn ja, auf welche Weise verkörpern dann gerade Teppiche eine „Ästhetik textilen Widerstands“? Diesbezüglich stehen jene Perspektiven der mit jüngsten Werken aus dem ersten Viertel des 21. Jahrhunderts vertretenen internationalen Künstler:innen im Fokus der Ausstellung, die im Teppich, der zum offenen Kunstobjekt geworden ist, mit unterschiedlichen Aspekten von Widerstand einhergehen. Was aber macht dieses Medium für Künstler:innen so interessant, um über Widerstand nachzudenken, und dabei mitunter verflochtene Themen durch Knoten, die Kette und den Schuss, oder mit der Tuftpistole auszuloten?

WEAVING, EMBROIDERING, EMBELLISHING. The Crafts and Trades of Fashion
Paris ( F ) > 13.12.2025 - 18.10.2026
In December 2025, the Palais Galliera is launching a series of exhibitions devoted to the skills and crafts involved in Parisian fashions. The three successive exhibitions will explore the specialised jobs and techniques in the fashion industry from different angles, showcasing items from the museum's stunning collections and offering a fresh perspective on the history of fashion from the 18th century to the present day.
This first exhibition is devoted to the decorative crafts used to embellish and decorate garments and accessories: weaving, printing, embroidering, lacemaking and artificial flowers. The theme chosen to explore these techniques is the flower, a motif which has featured prominently in textile art and fashion since the 18th century. The many variations on the theme reveal the interplay of textures, the treatment of colours and volumes and details inspired by the changing seasons. From the brocade fabric of an 18th century waistcoat to the laser prints of a Balenciaga ensemble; a piece of Chantilly lacework to Gabrielle Chanel's famous camellia, the exhibition highlights the wide variety of techniques involved, while at the same time exploring their symbolism and applications.
With over 350 pieces (garments, accessories, photographs, graphic art, samples, tools, etc.), the exhibition features creations from haute couture houses as well as pieces by young designers, some of which have been made especially for the exhibition. Textile samples and tables equipped with magnifying glasses have been provided in order for the public to examine the pieces and, by studying them, to appreciate the complexity of the craftsmanship involved in each design. It is a unique opportunity to gain an insight into the very special skills and know-how of those who work in the fashion industry.
The Palais Galliera is also paying tribute to the people behind these skills, who are often forgotten or lesser known by the prestigious name of a couturier. Whether they are traditional Maisons such as Lesage or Hurel, or newer, contemporary players like Baqué Molinié or Aurélia Leblanc, the exhibition reviews these often unsung craftspeople of fashion: the textile designers, embroiderers, feather workers, and floral makers, who have made Paris the cosmopolitan capital and prime location for their exceptional skills, which they maintain in a constant state of innovation and renewal.

DIOR KOLLEKTION VON AZZEDINE ALAÏA
Paris ( F ) > 20.11.2025 - 03.05.2026
In diesem Herbst präsentieren La Galerie Dior und die Azzedine Alaïa Foundation eine einzigartige Doppelausstellung, die Azzedine Alaïa – Sammler und Bewunderer von Christian Dior – in den Mittelpunkt rückt.
Azzedine Alaïa begann schon sehr früh und unter strengster Geheimhaltung mit dem Aufbau einer bedeutenden Sammlung, die die Kunst der größten Couturiers widerspiegelt. Dior nimmt darin einen besonderen Platz ein, mit rund 600 Designs, die heute von der Azzedine Alaïa Foundation sorgfältig aufbewahrt werden. Mehr als hundert davon werden zum ersten Mal in La Galerie Dior gezeigt und unterstreichen die Bewunderung des Designers für Christian Dior und seine Nachfolger, von Yves Saint Laurent bis John Galliano.
„Die Dior Modelle lassen erkennen, wie entschlossen Azzedine Alaïa sein Ziel verfolgte. Auf der Suche danach, wie Kleider aufgebaut sind und wie die feinen Schichten darunter einen luftigen Unterrock in Form halten, führte er all jene Elemente zusammen, die ihn schon als Jugendlichen fasziniert hatten.“ Olivier Saillard, Direktor der Azzedine Alaïa Foundation.
Parallel dazu präsentiert die Azzedine Alaïa Foundation in ihren Räumlichkeiten in Paris eine einzigartige Ausstellung mit Werken dieser beiden „Meister der Couture“. Azzedine Alaïa, der 1956 für einige Tage bei Dior beschäftigt war, hatte gute Erinnerungen an die anspruchsvollen Ateliers in der Avenue Montaigne. Rund dreißig von Azzedine Alaïa gesammelte Dior Entwürfe, die zusammen mit einer ähnlich großen Auswahl seiner eigenen Kreationen gezeigt werden, machen sichtbar, wie stark sich der Erfinder des New Look im Werk des französischen Couturiers tunesischer Herkunft widerspiegelt.
Die von Olivier Saillard in Zusammenarbeit mit Gaël Mamine kuratierte Doppelausstellung zeigt eine neue Interpretation der Geschichte der Maison Dior aus der Sicht eines anspruchsvollen Sammlers und enthüllt gleichzeitig eine Reihe faszinierender Korrespondenzen zwischen Christian Dior und Azzedine Alaïa.
