At a time of (almost) continuous fashion week, Parisian museums have continued to show fashionable exhibitions on their walls for several years. And watch out, fashion followers, the 2025 collection promises to be more bombastic than ever with the first retrospective of its kind at the Louvre, the 40th anniversary of Dolce & Gabbana and a tribute to Rick Owens. Fa fa fa fa fashion!
Louvre Couture, art objects, fashion objects
Being 231 years old and doing it for the first time. From January 24 to July 21, 2025, the Louvre will host, for the very first time in its history, a exposition entirely dedicated to the fashion galaxy. This retrospective will be knitted by Olivier Gabet and Nathalie Crinière, who have announced that they want to question the influence of museums and their collections on creators. The wardrobe, which will therefore interact with the works of the Louvre, should be made up of 65 outfits and 30 haute couture accessories with, on the fly, Chanel creations by Karl Lagerfeld – great surveyor of the Louvre –, as well as pieces by Yohji Yamamoto, Dolce & Gabbana, and a focus on Marie-Louise Carven, “the seamstress of little ladies”. Fa-fa-fashion!
When ? from January 24 to July 21, 2025.
Or ? Louvre Museum, rue de Rivoli, Paris 1st.
From the Heart to the Hand: Dolce & Gabbana
In 2025, Dolce & Gabbana will celebrate 40 years of creation. And will find Grand Palace a setting worthy of its exhibition event inaugurated at the Palazzo Reale in Milan. From the multiple inspirations of the designer duo (Sicilian ceramics, Venetian glassware, etc.) to the unique pieces designed by hand in their workshops, the exhibition weaves the thousand and one links between Italian culture and this haute couture of excess that the house cultivates. . Through ten immersive rooms and a scenography as crazy as their dresses, we wander into the heads (and hearts) of the creators.
When ? from January 10 to March 31, 2025
Or ? Grand Palais, 3 avenue du Général Eisenhower, Paris 8th
Temple of Love
In 2025, Rick Owens will parade at Palais Galliera! From June 28, 2025 to January 4, 2026, the Parisian museum celebrates the enfant terrible of American fashion with a retrospective worthy of its excess. To the cartel? Over 100 sculptural silhouettes, never-before-seen archives, and artwork that trace his career, from his grunge beginnings in Los Angeles to the spectacular catwalks that redefined the avant-garde. Just like Owens, the museum will not do things by halves; the American’s creations will also take over the facade and the adjacent square.
When ? du June 28, 2025 to January 4, 2026
Or ? 10 avenue Pierre 1er de Serbia, Paris 16th.
