It's already one of the most eagerly awaited events of Paris Fashion Week 2020, which ran from February 24 to March 3... The famous fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar is taking over the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, and more specifically the newly renovated Galeries de la Mode, until January 3, 2021. The exhibition remains closed until further notice.
The idea behind theHarper's Bazaar exhibition is to give an account of 150 years of fashion, by placing covers, shots by the great fashion photographers and articles from the magazine side by side in the 1500m2 of space dedicated to fashion at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs.
Alongside the iconic outfits, costumes and accessories preserved in the Paris museum, we learn more about thehistory of fashion since 1867, the year the American fashion magazine was launched.
For a long time, articles on new trends were accompanied by illustrative drawings, before they were illustrated by photos signed by great photographers such as Richard Avedon and Peter Lindbergh, which is great fun to rediscover!
In addition, the museum doesn't forget to spotlight those who made and broke fashion, with in-depth articles in the pages of Harper's Bazaar. A special tribute is paid to the great editors of Harper's Bazaar, those who made and have made the fashion world tremble at a given moment: Diana Vreeland, Carmel Show or Alexey Brodovitch and Glenda Bailey, currently in place!
Between fashion shows, take a trip to the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, a magnificent museum housed in a historic wing of the Musée du Louvre. Many other unusual design objects await you in the aisles... well worth a look.
Please note that it's been over 4 years since our last visit, so the place and experience may have changed.
