January 24, 2025, marked a historic moment in the world of fashion and art, as the Louvre Museum unveiled its first-ever fashion exhibition, “Louvre Couture: Art Objects, Fashion Objects.” This groundbreaking showcase bridges the worlds of high fashion and classical art, offering visitors a fresh and innovative perspective on the relationship between the two.

Coinciding with the start of Paris Haute Couture Week, the exhibition provides an unparalleled exploration of how iconic designers have drawn inspiration from the Louvre’s vast collection.

Staged in the Richelieu wing, the exhibit spans nearly 9,000 square meters of the museum’s Decorative Arts wing, transforming it into a dynamic fashion gallery. Over 70 garments from 45 of the most celebrated fashion houses—ranging from Givenchy and Dior to Chanel and Louis Vuitton—are displayed in dialogue with the museum’s artistic treasures. These garments, sourced from rare loans and the archives of renowned fashion houses, are showcased amidst the Louvre’s rich array of historical paintings, sculptures, and decorative objects.

The exhibition is designed to captivate not only fashion enthusiasts but also art lovers, as it presents an engaging and joyful experience. Curated by Olivier Gabet, the museum’s senior heritage curator, the exhibition draws attention to the intricate interplay between fashion and art. “Louvre Couture” reflects the museum’s ongoing role as a source of inspiration for artists and designers alike. From Hubert de Givenchy’s homage to luxury in his Fall/Winter 1990 collection to contemporary creations by Erdem and Iris van Herpen, the exhibition highlights how designers continuously reinterpret antiquities into runway masterpieces.

One of the key highlights of the exhibition is its nonlinear design, inviting visitors to wander freely through themed vignettes rather than following a strict chronological order. This layout enhances the museum’s mission to present the beauty of art and fashion as a living conversation. For instance, Karl Lagerfeld’s 18th-century-inspired Chanel collection finds itself showcased alongside 16th-century ceramics.

The collection emphasizes the evolution of couture from its origins in the 1960s to the present day. Iconic pieces such as Alexander McQueen’s Armadillo shoes and Gianni Versace’s 1997 metal mesh gown offer a glimpse into the transformation of fashion over the decades. The latter, embellished with intricate Swarovski crystals, not only exemplifies Versace’s craftsmanship but also references classical art forms.

This exhibition also shines a light on the artistic process behind fashion design. For instance, Karl Lagerfeld’s deep connection to the Louvre is well-documented, with many of his designs—like the embroidered jacket from his 2019 Chanel collection—directly inspired by pieces housed within the museum. Lagerfeld once described the Louvre as his “second studio,” and this sentiment is reflected in the exhibit, where fashion and art converge seamlessly.

“Louvre Couture” promises to inspire not only designers but also anyone with an appreciation for the intricate beauty of both fashion and art. This exhibition is a powerful reminder that creativity knows no boundaries—whether in the world of high fashion or the walls of the Louvre.
