From January 10th to February 14th 2015, Magda Danysz Gallery invites artists, designers and intellectuals to interpret Frédérique Mory’s precious collection of fashion drawings, realized in by the greatest designers of the 20th century, such as Hubert de Givenchy, Christian Lacroix and Karl Lagerfeld.

Featuring the works of Hubert Barrère, Gael Davrinche, Leslie Deere, Mounir Fatmi, Maro Michalakakos, Frank Perrin, Sabine Pigalle, Matt Saunders, Julien Serve, Zoë Sheehan Saldaña, the exhibition Direction Artistique aims to highlight the links between art and fashion. In this context, the two creative fields interact by celebrating the value of clothing as an act of imagination and self-expression. Inspired by the quote of Honoré de Balzac : Dressing is at once a science, an art, a habit and a feeling, the exhibition will feature reflections on the body, on words, on literature, on music, and on history.
