Louvre Couture: A Historic First in Fashion & Art

From January 24 to July 21, 2025 (extended through August 24), the Musée du Louvre presents its first-ever fashion exhibition: Louvre Couture. Held in the Decorative Arts Wing and spanning nearly 9,000″¯m², this groundbreaking showcase features around 100 iconic silhouettes and accessories from 45 prestigious fashion houses–including Chanel, Dior, Balenciaga, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, and avant-garde designers like Iris van Herpen and Thom Browne.

Curated by Olivier Gabet, director of Decorative Arts at the Louvre, each fashion piece is thoughtfully paired with historical artworks–ranging from Byzantine tapestries to Second Empire furnishings–to explore the dialogue between centuries-old artistry and modern couture. Notable highlights include crystal-embroidered Dolce & Gabbana gowns echoing 11th-century mosaics, as well as Karl Lagerfeld’s final Chanel collection presented alongside 18th-century decorative masterpieces.

More than just an exhibition, Louvre Couture celebrates fashion as a dynamic form of cultural expression. The museum hosted a spectacular gala, Le Grand Dîner du Louvre, often dubbed the “Paris Met Gala,” where over 100 rare couture pieces were presented in a dazzling evening that drew celebrities such as Naomi Campbell, Gigi Hadid, and Doechii. Adding to the magic, fashion impresario Jordan Roth delivered a captivating performance at Cour Marly during Paris Fashion Week, blending couture with choreography and multimedia projections in a site-specific show that perfectly embodied the spirit of innovation and artistry.

 

Louvre Couture: Un Hito Histórico en la Moda y el Arte

Del 24 de enero al 21 de julio de 2025 (extendido hasta el 24 de agosto), el Musée du Louvre presenta su primera exposición de moda: Louvre Couture. Ubicada en el Ala de Artes Decorativas y con casi 9,000 m² de espacio, esta innovadora muestra reúne alrededor de 100 siluetas y accesorios icónicos de 45 reconocidas casas de moda, incluyendo Chanel, Dior, Balenciaga, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton y diseñadores vanguardistas como Iris van Herpen y Thom Browne.

Bajo la curaduría de Olivier Gabet, director de Artes Decorativas del Louvre, cada pieza de moda se exhibe junto a obras maestras históricas –desde tapices bizantinos hasta mobiliario del Segundo Imperio– para revelar la influencia del arte tradicional en el diseño contemporáneo. Entre los momentos destacados se incluyen vestidos bordados con cristales de Dolce & Gabbana que evocan mosaicos del siglo XI, así como la última colección de Karl Lagerfeld para Chanel, presentada junto a piezas decorativas del siglo XVIII.

 

Más que una simple exposición, Louvre Couture celebra la moda como una forma dinámica de expresión cultural. El museo organizó una espectacular gala, Le Grand Dîner du Louvre, conocida como la “Met Gala de París”, donde se exhibieron más de 100 piezas de alta costura en una velada deslumbrante con celebridades como Naomi Campbell, Gigi Hadid y Doechii. Como broche de oro, el empresario de la moda Jordan Roth presentó una actuación impactante en el Cour Marly durante la Semana de la Moda de París, combinando alta costura, coreografía y proyecciones multimedia en un
