Histoire idéale de la Mode contemporaine: 1990-2000

kvdb — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 09:16:11 +0000

Alexander McQueen Spring 2004 Ready-to-Wear

The second part of this historical exhibition covers the fashion of the 90s and noughties, attempting to place the style of these 2 decades within their sociological, cultural, and political context. After the glitz and glamour of the 70s and 80s, comes a new, more cerebral era. Witness, via videos of significant défilés and garments, how designers like Azzedine Alaïa, Rei Kawakubo, Jean-Paul Gaultier or Yohji Yamamoto, Helmut Lang and Jil Sander, John Galliano and Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan and Viktor & Rolf, Martin Margiela, or Nicolas Ghesquière defined the epoque. There’s also an excellent catalogue, written by fashion intellectual and Director of the Musée Galliera Olivier Saillard, available.
Until 8 May. Tue-Fri, 11am-6pm (Thu, 9pm); Sat, Sun 10am-6pm.
Musée des Arts Décoratifs, 107 rue de Rivoli, 1st. M° Palais-Royal. www.lesartsdecoratifs.fr/

The Story Of [The Rolling Stones] at Renoma

m.osucha — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 14:35:46 +0000

Celebrity stylist, photographer, decorator, and eponymous owner of the trendy Renoma Café Gallery and Renoma boutique – Maurice Renoma is a Parisian institution unto himself. Rising to fame in the 60s, Renoma is best known for dressing the likes of Serge Gainsbourg, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and The Rolling Stones – all artists intent on breaking the mold and rebelling against established norms. Following his recent exhibition called The Story Of, featuring photos of Serge Gainsbourg, Renoma continues to revisit his relationship to these game-changing musicians by hosting yet another exhibition of the same name – this time devoted entirely to The Stones. Bringing together the work of ten photographers (including Maurice Renoma himself), the exhibition takes a look at 40 years of The Rolling Stones and their role in the history of contemporary fashion.
Until 17 July
