Carnet de bal, de Marie-Antoinette à l’impératrice Eugénie (1780-1880)

Bourguoin-Jallieu (F) > 24.05. - 08.12.2024

Cette exposition met en valeur l’évolution des vêtements féminins et masculins, illustrant ainsi les transformations de la mode au fil des siècles. L’histoire de ces silhouettes est aussi celle de l’émancipation féminine à travers les âges, du corsetage à la libération du corps, de la contrainte à la prise de pouvoir. Cette exposition fait la part belle aux robes à crinoline, les plus extravagantes de l’histoire de la mode.

MODE*CHAPEAU

Utrecht (NL) > 09.05. - 29.09.2024

Two private collections revealed. Collecting fashion is an art in itself. Assembling a collection requires time, knowledge, passion, a keen eye and a bit of luck. This double bill features iconic items from two remarkable private collections formed in Utrecht.

A celebration of fifty years of dazzling couture.' - Hans van Emmerik (collector)
From an early age, Hans van Emmerik admired the clothes in family photos, especially those of his grandmother, who made children’s clothes and gave him leftover fabrics. His fascination aroused, he became a passionate collector of fashion from the first half of the 20th century. He now owns the largest private collection in the Netherlands from this period: more than 300 dresses worn by wealthy ladies at that time, from spectacular sequinned evening dresses to garments of rustling silk.

‘There’s a hat for every head.’ - Tiny Meihuizen-Wijker (collector)
Until 2009, Tiny Meihuizen-Wijker’s private hat museum Gossip & Whispering was located a stone’s throw from the Central Museum. As a young girl, Tiny became fascinated by the hats that women wore to church, admiring their exuberant designs, striking colours and wonderful details. The most eccentric hats were sure to set tongues wagging: hats make a statement. Her collection ultimately grew to more than twelve hundred items of headwear, from refined 1920s cloches to extravagant designs with feathers or artificial flowers.
The Centraal Museum now offers the public its first opportunity to admire these two remarkable collections, which have remained largely hidden from view.

Shirley Craven

Manchester (GB) > 06.04.2024 - 11.05.2025

An exhibition of vivid, colour-filled textiles by post-war designer Shirley Craven. Born in Hull in 1934 and evacuated during the Second World War, Craven cites the rural Yorkshire landscape and her post-war education at Hull College of Art and the Royal College of Art (1955-8) as a launchpad to a hugely successful career at the printing firm Hull Traders. Aged 29, Craven became Chief Designer and Director of this small and visionary firm whose artist-designers also included Althea McNish and Eduardo Paolozzi. The Whitworth is home to over 80 of Craven's bold abstract textiles, displayed together for the first time in over 60 years alongside newly acquired unique works from her days as a Student at the RCA. Alongside exhibitions, the Whitworth offers a broad programme of civic engagement and education activities, events and workshops that are informed by and support our communities. In 2024, we will launch Everyday Art School, a new suite of civic engagement and collections spaces that provides new experiences in our richly diverse and accessible constituent-led programme.

Out Shopping: The Dresses of Marion and Maud Sambourne (1880-1910)

London (GB) > 23.03. - 20.10.2024

Marion Sambourne was the wife of Victorian illustrator Linley Sambourne. Their daughter, Maud, shared an artistic flair which she abandoned in pursuit of a prosperous marriage with Leonard Messel. This major exhibition features a selection of dresses they wore for special moments and social occasions, many of them of national significance as rare surviving examples by leading designers of the era - often female. An intimate story of the lives of a middle-class mother and her affluent daughter, navigating through the late Victorian period and into the 20th century, a moment in history that significantly shaped the way fashion and shopping is consumed today.

Planet(s) Decouflé

Moulins ( F) > 24.05.2024 - 05.01.2025

A major choreographer of the new French wave of the late 1980s, Philippe Decouflé has constantly created worlds halfway through dance, cinema and live cartoon. Each of his productions, since Codex first international triumph, reveals fantastic burleque worlds. Carrying a unique look at four decades of creation by the choreographer Philippe Decouflé, the exhibition Planète(s) Decouflé proposes, through more than 100 costumes, to dive into a universe halfway through dance, cinema and live cartoon. Videos and drawings complete this unique journey. Each of Philippe Decouflé's productions, since Codex in 1986 and the first international triumph, reveals burlesque, fantastic, singular worlds. The creator always surrounded himself with artists equal to his talent to magnify the bodies. The stage costume is of particular importance to Philippe Decouflé, to the point of having created with costume-couturiers such as Philippe Guillotel, Laurence Chalou, Jean Malo or Charlie Le Mindu, one of the most beautiful dance halls of contemporary dance. From the Codex/Decodex/Tricodex trilogy to Octopus, from WieBo to Tutti, all the creativity of Philippe Decouflé and his accomplices are staged here for the first time at the National Centre of Costume and Stage of Moulins. As a result, the last major hall of the exhibition invites visitors to relive the extraordinary ceremony of the 1992 Albertville Olympic Games seen by more than two billion spectators.

Marco Polo. The Costumes of Enrico Sabbatini

Venedig (I) > 14.05. - 30.09.2024

Marking the 700th anniversary of Marco Polo’s death, on 8 January 1324, the exhibition’s purpose is to relive and showcase his extraordinary adventure on the “Silk Road” through a selection of costumes representing the route followed by the great Venetian merchant and traveller. When he was just seventeen, with his father and uncle he sailed the seas, traversed boundless deserts and visited legendary cities, meeting powerful princes and dangerous warlords from very different countries and cultures. This was shown by the RAI’s major TV production with international participation including China itself. The exhibition will pay tribute to the director Giuliano Montaldo, costume designer Enrico Sabbatini and composer Ennio Morricone, to recall these extraordinary Italian geniuses who have passed away. Specifically, the exhibition reveals the ability of Stefano Nicolao, involved in the production directly by the great costume designer Sabbatini, to work in the Himalayas to create the scenes and costumes of the journey from Persia to China. This initiative presents some thirty costumes recording the route of Marco Polo’s journey from Venice to China, with original sketches, the resultof four years of study and preparation of the film and photos of the sets.

Fashion on the move #2

Paris (F) > 20.04.2024 - 05.01.2025

From 20 April 2024 to 5 January 2025, the Palais Galliera will be presenting its collections exhibition Fashion on the Move #2. For preventive conservation reasons and also in order to display new works from the museum's collections, this second exhibition will present a history of fashion from the 18th century to the present day, while developing a transversal theme on the body in movement. With Paris set to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in the summer of 2024, the Palais Galliera has selected 300 items from its collections to explore the role of special clothing in physical and sports activities as well as the sociological factors reflected in its development. Garments designed for sports and physical activities such as horseriding, tennis, golf and bicycling, are compared with clothes that were worn about town. This second exhibition provides for a better understanding of the gradual specialisation of sports garments and the arrival of sportswear in people's ordinary everyday wardrobe. One section is entirely devoted to sea bathing and swimming, symbolising the democratisation of sport that came with the end of the 19th century. A chance to discover the Palais Galliera’s large collection of bathing suits, swimming costumes, beachwear and related accessories. This bathing section highlights developments in the relationship between the body and its exposure in public, as well as changing notions of modesty and decency. It also reveals shifts in conceptions of beauty, particularly in relation to suntanned skin.
