In Paris, Etienne Daho's stage outfits join the Palais Galliera collections

The Palais Galliera is probably one of the capital's most beautiful museums, and for a long time, we regretted that it was too inaccessible to us. Until now, it only opened its doors for temporary exhibitions, including a moving tribute to Dalida and, more recently, the fascinating retrospective on Gabrielle Chanel. This cultural venue has now undergone renovation and expansion, with the aim of opening up its permanent collections to Parisians of all ages.

While the doors of the fashion museum remain closed, much to the dismay of visitors, inside the Palais, things are hotting up. And for good reason: new iconic pieces have just been added to the Palais Galliera's gargantuan collection, which already comprises over 200,000 works. This time, it's singerEtienne Daho' s turn. 34 outfits for stage and street wear by this icon of French chanson were donated to the museum by his friend, singer Elli Medeiros.

"Stage outfits are companions and armor into which we slip to become the Other. They are charged with all energies and emotions. Stage fright, impatience to get on stage, the joys of sharing and the incomparable Great Love. The one we receive and the one we give " - Etienne Daho

The singer himself decided to accompany this donation with other pieces from his wardrobe. These include creations by a number of emblematic fashion houses, including Agnès B, Paul Smith, Saint Laurent, Dior Homme and Céline, the famous Saint James marinière, and 6 stage outfits by designer Hedi Slimane, with whom he has forged a certain complicity.

We can't wait to discover them, can you?
