Exhibitions

Les Fleurs d’Yves Saint Laurent

From 20 September 2024 to 4 May 2025, the Yves Saint Laurent Museum Paris presents "The Flowers of Yves Saint Laurent", an exhibition curated by Olivier Saillard and Gaël Mamine. This exhibition, which follows a first chapter presented at the Yves Saint Laurent Museum Marrakech from 2 March 2024 to 5 January 2025, celebrates the designer's passion for flowers, inspiring his creations and interiors. The exhibition features around thirty silhouettes and drawings, showing the influence of nature and literature, particularly Marcel Proust on Saint Laurent's work. Iconic pieces, ranging from his earliest applied embroidery on the spring-summer dress of 1962 to his inventive prints from the spring-summer 2001 collection, are exhibited alongside works by the American artist Sam Falls. In Yves Saint Laurent's creations, as in the painting of Sam Falls, flowers transcend time and remain eternally in bloom.

Du Cœur à la Main: Dolce&Gabbana

From 10 January to 31 March 2025, following its immense success in Milan, the exhibition “Du Cœur à la Main: Dolce&Gabbana” will be showcased at the Grand Palais in Paris. For the first time, it brings together over 200 unique creations from the renowned Italian luxury house. The exhibition retraces the artistic journey of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, where passion intertwines with craftsmanship, and features previously unreleased works by contemporary artists engaging in dialogue with their universe. Conceived by Florence Müller, this immersive exhibition celebrates Alta Moda across ten spectacular rooms covering 1 200 square meters. The showcased pieces, crafted by exceptionally talented Italian artisans, draw inspirations from a rich variety of cultural sources: the history of Italian art, architecture, folkloric traditions, music, opera, ballet, theatre, cinema, and, of course, the “dolce vita”. This exhibition is a true tribute to Italian culture and its exceptional craftsmanship.

A Legendary Fashion House and Artist Hats

In addition to this in-depth look at one of the greatest ever name from world of fashion and on this historical retrospective, two other unmissable exhibitions celebrate a legendary fashion house and artist hats.

The Galerie Dior's new exhibition

La Galerie Dior opened its doors in March 2022 in the heart of 30 Montaigne and is testament to the visionary boldness of Christian Dior and his six successors. It stands apart as a symbol of the Parisian haute couture spirit while preserving the House's history by exhibiting original designs, and exceptional pieces.

Stephen Jones, Chapeaux d’artiste

The exhibition "Stephen Jones: Artist Hats" from 19 October 2024 to 16 March 2025 at the Palais Galliera celebrates the work of this British designer, recognised as one of the greatest contemporary milliners. For the first time in over forty years, the Palais Galliera dedicates an entire exhibition to an accessory: the hat, elevated here to the status of a work of art.

The exhibition highlights Stephen Jones's creative process, his sources of inspiration, and his connection to Paris, where he has had a profound influence on the fashion world. Since opening his first shop in London in 1980, Stephen Jones, influenced by the "New Romantics" movement and his collaborations with music icons, has left his mark on fashion with his bold hats. His creations, often associated with major fashion houses such as Christian Dior, with whom he has collaborated for over twenty-five years, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Louis Vuitton, are showcased here as masterpieces of contemporary fashion history.

Explore nearly 400 works, including over 170 hats, archives, preparatory sketches, photographs, and around forty complete outfits.
