Fashion on the move #2
Paris (F) > 20.04.2024 - 05.01.2025
From 20 April 2024 to 5 January 2025, the Palais Galliera will be presenting its collections exhibition Fashion on the Move #2. For preventive conservation reasons and also in order to display new works from the museum's collections, this second exhibition will present a history of fashion from the 18th century to the present day, while developing a transversal theme on the body in movement. With Paris set to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in the summer of 2024, the Palais Galliera has selected 300 items from its collections to explore the role of special clothing in physical and sports activities as well as the sociological factors reflected in its development. Garments designed for sports and physical activities such as horseriding, tennis, golf and bicycling, are compared with clothes that were worn about town. This second exhibition provides for a better understanding of the gradual specialisation of sports garments and the arrival of sportswear in people's ordinary everyday wardrobe. One section is entirely devoted to sea bathing and swimming, symbolising the democratisation of sport that came with the end of the 19th century. A chance to discover the Palais Galliera’s large collection of bathing suits, swimming costumes, beachwear and related accessories. This bathing section highlights developments in the relationship between the body and its exposure in public, as well as changing notions of modesty and decency. It also reveals shifts in conceptions of beauty, particularly in relation to suntanned skin.
