Alaïa Avant Alaïa
La Genèse d'un style

"At the time I was not showing collections, I made couture for clients. He didn’t ask me many questions. He understood and analyzed." Azzedine Alaïa

“Alaïa Avant Alaïa” is an unprecedented and original exhibition, conceived and produced by the Foundation wanted by the designer some years before his death. Through archive documents, photographs and drawings, the exhibition analyses the formative years between the 1950s, just before the budding couturier would leave Tunis and move to Paris, to the early 1980s and the emergence of the Alaïa phenomenon. A rigorous selection of pieces from the beginning of his career, a selection of designs that revealed to the public something far beyond a singular style, a founding body of work dating from the late 1970s dialogues with timeless clothes, truly an intimate map of his eternal sources of inspiration.

Considered one of the greatest contemporary Australian artists of the past two decades, Sally Gabori began painting in 2005, around the age of eighty, and rapidly achieved national and international renown as an artist. In just a few short years of a rare creative intensity, and prior to her death in 2015, she developed a unique, vibrantly colorful body of work with no apparent ties to other aesthetic currents, particularly within contemporary Aboriginal painting. Bringing together some thirty monumental paintings, this exhibition is organized in close collaboration with the artist’s family and the Kaiadilt community, alongside the foremost specialists in Kaiadilt art and culture.

The Musée des Arts Décoratifs will host the exhibition «Shocking chic. Les mondes surréalistes by Elsa Schiaparelli", on display from 6 July to 23 January 2023. The exhibition, curated by Olivier Gabet (Museum Director) and Marie-Sophie Carron de la Carrière (Chief Curator), will celebrate the bold and exciting creations of Italian couturière Elsa Schiaparelli (b. September 10, 1890, Rome – d. November 13, 1973, Paris) who drew much of her inspiration from her close ties to the Parisian avant-garde of the 1920s and 1930s. Nearly 20 years since the last retrospective devoted to Schiaparelli at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, the time has come to revisit the extraordinary designer’s work, her innovative sense of feminine style, her sophisticated, often eccentric designs, and the thrill that she brought to the world of fashion.

Displayed on two levels, the exhibition is organized both thematically and chronologically around key moments in the career of Elsa Schiaparelli, linking her most remarkable collections from year to year with the works of friends and contemporaries who inspired her fashion designs.
