To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the Museum for Lace and Fashion is giving carte blanche to Belgian designer Olivier Theyskens. In a unique exhibition he gives full rein to a reverie in which clothing takes centre stage. In praesentia is by design an unprecedented emotional experience. The project is built on fragmentation and collisions, inspired by a creative dialogue between the singular work of Olivier Theyskens and the museum's historical textile and industrial collections. The equilibrated vision nourishes his approach to the textile and industrial pieces held by the museum, witnesses to the rich history of lace in Calais.
