Louvre Couture is the first fashion exhibition at the iconic Paris museum, featuring 100 ensembles and accessories from 45 renowned fashion houses like Balenciaga and Chanel. The clothes, which date from 1960 to 2025, are displayed throughout the decorative arts department rather than with famous artworks. This exhibition aims to attract a diverse and younger audience, encouraging them to engage with the museum. Director Olivier Gabet emphasizes the importance of making the museum accessible and appealing, using fashion as a bridge for greater public engagement with art and history.
