Louvre couture : Objets d'art, objets de mode
Auteur(s) : Olivier Gabet
Exhibition at the Musée du Louvre, Paris, 24 January - 21 July 2025
Like painting and literature, art objects from Byzantium to the 19th century have been vibrant sources of inspiration for fashion designers and fashion houses. Sometimes the quotation is literal, sometimes the designers have surrounded themselves with so many works that they have ended up integrating them to recreate their spirit and inspiration.
This exhibition catalogue is the first to weave a dialogue between the museum's collections and the achievements of contemporary fashion. It shows that, over time, fashion has proved to be an art-historical subject in its own right, and an inexhaustible field of exploration and knowledge.
