Exhibitions

Nuances de Bleu par Van Cleef & Arpels

From 17 January to 30 June 2025, the Galerie du Patrimoine, located in the boutique at 20, place Vendôme, Paris, will host the exhibition ‘Nuances de Bleu par Van Cleef & Arpels’ (Shades of Blue by Van Cleef & Arpels). A selection of nearly 60 jewellery and watch creations from the Heritage Collection and nine original archives offers an immersion into the blue palette deployed by the House since its foundation in 1906.

The sapphire, in its precious variations, also lends itself to the themes dear to Van Cleef & Arpels.

In 1962, the House drew its inspiration from nature to create a Bouquet clip, with five sapphires blooming in the heart of stylised flowers.

The world of couture is illustrated by the Cravate necklace of 1954. Set with 269 diamonds and 110 sapphires, it is a fluid reinterpretation of this fashion statement. Inspired by a 1920s model, the composition features a diamond fabric wrapped around a sapphire ribbon. The lower part of the ribbon ends in a precious fringe of baguette-cut diamonds, accompanying the body's movements with suppleness.

Paul Poiret, la mode est une fête

French haute couture designer Paul Poiret had the innovative idea of ending corsets for women, thus freeing them from a suffocating constraint. The Musée des Arts Décoratifs is dedicating an exhibition to him, the first fully dedicated to this figure of Parisian haute couture, from June 25, 2025, to January 11, 2026. A deep dive into the early decades of the 20th century, where dresses became works of art.

Renowned for liberating women by introducing fluid silhouettes, low waistlines under the bust, and vibrant colors in his creations, Paul Poiret, who became a couturier in 1903, is seen as a bold genius with a flamboyant universe, transforming fashion into an art of living. Throughout the exhibition, visitors will be able to explore all the areas where he made his mark, from decorative arts to perfumery, including gastronomy and, of course, fashion. A selection of works, documents, and testimonies from the museum’s collections will highlight his influence on contemporary designers and immerse visitors in his creative world, from his fascination with the Russian Ballets to his artistic collaboration with Raoul Dufy, as well as the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts.

A Legendary Fashion House and the Dialogue between Haute Couture and Historical Masterpieces.

In addition to this in-depth look at one of the greatest ever name from world of fashion and on this historical retrospective, two other unmissable exhibitions celebrate a legendary fashion house and the dialogue between Haute Couture and historical masterpieces.

The Galerie Dior's new exhibition

La Galerie Dior opened its doors in March 2022 in the heart of 30 Montaigne and is testament to the visionary boldness of Christian Dior and his six successors. It stands apart as a symbol of the Parisian haute couture spirit while preserving the House's history by exhibiting original designs, and exceptional pieces.

LOUVRE COUTURE. Objets d’art, objets de mode

From 24 January to 21 July 2025, the Louvre Museum in Paris presents Art and Fashion: Statement Piece. Since Cézanne’s time, the Louvre has been an endless source of inspiration, not only for art but also for fashion. Research and monographs increasingly trace fashion’s aesthetic lineage, revealing not just radical innovations or seasonal shifts but also deep historical echoes and influences. The connections between fashion and art are vast, woven through the Louvre’s collections, its reflection of evolving tastes, and the enduring dialogue between past and present.

By bridging art history and fashion through ancestral techniques, visual culture, and curated references, Louvre Couture offers a fresh perspective on the decorative arts through the lens of contemporary fashion design.
