The Musée des Arts Décoratifs explores the relationship between the body and fashion with an exhibition on hair styles and body hair grooming. Des cheveux et des poils (Hair & Hairs) exhibition demonstrates how hairstyles and the grooming of human hair have contributed to the construction of appearances for centuries.

Hair is an essential aspect of one’s identity and has often been used as a means of expressing our adherence to a fashion, a conviction, or a protest while invoking much deeper meanings such as femininity, virility, and negligence, to name just a few. The exhibition explores through 600 works, from the 15th century to nowadays, the themes inherent in the history of hairstyles, but also the questions related to facial and bodily hair. The trades and skills of yesterday and today are highlighted with their iconic figures: Léonard Autier (favorite hairdresser of Marie-Antoinette), Monsieur Antoine, the Carita sisters, Alexandre de Paris, and more recently studio hairdressers. Great names in contemporary fashion such as Alexander McQueen, Martin Margiela, or Josephus Thimister are present with their spectacular creations made from this unique material that is hair.

The exhibition is presented in the Christine & Stephen A. Schwarzman’s fashion galleries of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. The scenography will be created by David Lebreton of the Designers Unit agency.

The exhibition Yves Saint Laurent–Shapes & Forms, displays the couturier’s modern and enduring vision. Through a fascinating spatial arrangement, the artist Claudia Wieser engenders a dialogue with textile pieces and graphic art from the museum’s collections. The exhibition presents some forty models by Yves Saint Laurent, both haute couture and ready-to-wear garments, accessories and sketches, which resonate with decors and work by the German artist. This original approach securely places the couturier’s genius in the context of our own times.

Throughout his career, the legendary grand couturier Yves Saint Laurent never ceased reinventing forms. Already in 1958, when he was artistic director at Christian Dior, he affirmed his modernist approach with his “Trapeze” collection. Its iconic geometric silhouette has gone down in the annals of fashion.

Beginning in the 1960s, his creations reflected as treamlined cut, well-defined lines and rich colors. His works were influenced by the artistic trends of the time–simple and geometric abstraction, constructivism and concrete art–whose many movements mirror the multi-faceted talent of Yves Saint Laurent.

Paying particular attention to color and form, the German artist Claudia Wieser stages a rich array of forms. Influenced by the intuitive and spiritual work of Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee, the artist explores modernist-inspired geometric constructions. Recognized for her immersive and contemplative installations, Wieser offers us a totally immersive experience. For the Yves Saint Laurent–Shapes & Forms project, Claudia Wieser presents several of her own works, some of which have never been exhibited before.

The Jeu de Paume presents the first major exhibition devoted to Frank Horvat since his death on 21 October 2020. The exhibition concentrates on the first fifteen years of his career, from 1950 to 1965, during which his extraordinary talent as an author-reporter and fashion photographer was revealed. Drawing on the archives kept in his studio-home in Boulogne-Billancourt, it takes a fresh look at the work of this major figure in French and European photography. With almost 170 prints and 70 original documents, “Frank Horvat: Paris, the World, Fashion” allows audiences to discover lesser-known and completely unknown photographs, alongside iconic images.

Following the success of the exhibition Frank Horvat presented at the Château de Tours in the spring of 2022, Jeu de Paume wanted to offer an augmented version of the exhibition in Paris. A unique ensemble of photographs, as well as numerous fashion magazines will thus be presented, shedding light on the context in which these images were created, at a time when the rise of ready-to-wear and the evolution of women’s social status profoundly modified the canons of the genre.
