The Galerie du 19M exhibits this living heritage where the head accessory becomes a true sculptural work. The event highlights the constant dialogue between traditional tailoring techniques and the audacity of current design studios. We observe the spectacular transformation of felt and straw, transformed by steam and precise gestures.

It’s a celebration of detail and handcraft, showcasing creations that have graced the world's greatest runways. This place of transmission allows us to grasp the importance of an art profession that continues to reinvent itself brilliantly.
