Weave, embroider, sublimate. The know-how of fashion

A thread of silk, a tiny pearl, or a complex weave: the backstage of haute couture is revealed in a new light at the Palais Galliera. Starting December 13, 2025, this first installment of an unprecedented trilogy offers a close-up look at the technical gestures that transform fabric into a work of art. By focusing on materiality and extreme precision, the Paris Fashion Museum highlights exceptional pieces often preserved in the shadows of its reserves. This almost surgical approach allows us to grasp the ingenuity of the hand behind each creation presented until October 18, 2026. It’s an opportunity to admire the richness of French textiles through details usually invisible during a fashion show.
