The article discusses the trend of fashion exhibitions in museums, citing successful events such as the Dior exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, which drew 708,000 visitors. The trend is expected to continue as museums program fashion exhibitions, including the Louvre, which is hosting its first fashion exhibition, “Louvre Couture”, featuring art objects paired with designer outfits. The Louvre-Lens has also hosted an exhibition on the link between artists and their attire. Other upcoming fashion exhibitions include an show on Charles Frederick Worth at the Petit Palais, considered the “inventor of haute couture”.
