Author Couture and Visionary Fashion

From October 22, 2025 to March 31, 2026, the Palais Galliera transforms its galleries into a high fashion laboratory where clothing sheds its primary function to become a total work of art. Here, major couturiers of the 20th and 21st centuries redefine the contours of the body through daring fabric architectures. Between the walls of this temple of fashion, impeccably tailored suits rub shoulders with ball gowns so airy they seem to float. Mannequins come to life to revive the original movement of the pieces, while period videos and close-ups on embroidery reveal the intimacy of the craftsmanship. This retrospective captures the precise moment when technical innovation meets aesthetic rebellion. The tour is accompanied by costume workshops and themed guided tours to deepen this unique reading of contemporary style.
