Déboutonnez la mode !
12|02|2015 > 19|07|2015
De tentoonstelling "Déboutonnez la mode !" geeft de mogelijkheid om een unieke collectie van meer dan 3.000 knopen te onthullen, daterend uit de achttiende tot de twintigste eeuw, en verworven in 2012. Deze stukken, klein van formaat, zijn ware kunstwerken die de materialen en technieken die gebruikt werden bij de vervaardiging van voorwerpen tot kostbaarheden hebben gemaakt. Zij werden gemaakt door ambachtslieden uit verschillende disciplines: passementiers, borduursters, goudsmeden, glas, keramiek of paruriers, deze knopen kristalliseren alleen het geheugen en de evolutie van de kennis. Ze hebben ook de aandacht getrokken van vele kunstenaars: schilders, beeldhouwers en beroemde sieradenontwerpers die unieke ontwerpen hebben gemaakt voor modehuizen en hun creaties.
De studie van het gebruik ervan, laat een alternatieve benadering van de geschiedenis van de mode zien. We ontdekken hoe elke ontwerper het aan- en verpakte het om te zetten in een mode accessoire. Daarnaast is het belangrijk is dat de tentoonstelling voor het eerst onthult hoe elk stuk wordt gebruikt om de structuur van teken een silhouet te benadrukken.

Jeanne Lanvin
maart > augustus 2015
First retrospective in Paris dedicated to Jeanne Lanvin, founder of the oldest haute couture house still active today which celebrates its 125 years, this exhibition presents alongside sets created in close collaboration with Alber Elbaz, artistic director of Lanvin, the exceptional collection held by the Palais Galliera complemented by major pieces conserved by Patrimoine Lanvin.
After making her debut as a milliner in 1885, Jeanne Lanvin (1867 – 1946), inspired by her daughter, and muse, Marguerite, presented her first collection for children in 1908. The following year, she opened the department "Jeune fille et femme" for women of all ages.Lanvin ranks highly among the greatest designers of the French haute couture, such as Chéruit, Doeuillet, Doucet, Paquin, Poiret, Redfern, and Worth.
Numbers 15 & 22, rue du Faubourg St Honoré enjoyed an incredible prosperity with the opening of numerous different departments (furs, bridal, sport, menswear, perfume...) and with branches in Madrid, Cannes, Deauville, Le Touquet, and Biarritz, the house employed over 1000 workers.
Her logo, designed by Paul Iribe at the beginning of the 1920s, would become world famous. "Lanvin blue" and all its variations was the house's signature color, and the robe de style with an ample skirt, full of historical references, the designer's emblematic model."Le style Lanvin" resides in the virtuosity of her technique and the finesse of her details: cut outs with smartly chosen appliqués, decorations, pleats and seams, along with the richness of her ornamentation and luxuriousness of her embroidery. The graphic quality of her motifs plays with the visual opposition of black and white and is heavily indebted to the Art Deco style.

French Fashion - Foreign Designers
09|12|2014 > 31|05|2015
The Palais Galliera joins to the Palais de la Porte Dorée, Museum of the immigration history to present "Fashion Mix - French fashion, Foreign designers".
The FASHION MIX exhibition is a tribute to French expertise which Russian, Armenian, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Belgian designers – to name but a few in the field of fashion – help spread worldwide. From Charles Frederick Worth to Azzedine Alaïa, Fortuny to Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto, and from Elsa Schiaparelli to Martin Margiela, not forgetting Cristobal Balenciaga, Robert Piguet, Paco Rabane and Raf Simons – all of these foreign designers and creative directors have brought about a revolution in French fashion and enriched its history.
Drawing on personal journeys and the history of fashion, FASHION MIX - designed by Olivier Saillard, the Palais Galliera's director - tells the story of a different kind of immigration, that of men and women, artisans and designers, who have contributed to the reputation of Paris as the international capital of fashion.
The exhibition will feature iconic items preserved for the most part at the Palais Galliera, such as dresses, coats, hats and accessories. Individual migration stories and expertise will be traced using public and private archive documents including: fashion house registration documents, naturalisation applications, files from the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless People (OFPRA), INA audiovisual excerpts and/or unpublished interviews

Impressies uit het land van de Rijzende Zon
07|11|2014 > 11|10|2015
Het jaar 2014 is dé kans om de 150e verjaardag van de betrekkingen tussen de Elzas en Japan te herdenken, textiel was een van de eerste gebieden van deze uitwisseling. Vanaf 1864, produceerde men in de Elzas wollen stoffen en chiffon om te exporteren naar het land van de opkomende zon.
Het Museum maakt van de gelegenheid gebruik om deze historische epos te doorlopen door middel van een tentoonstelling gewijd aan de Japanse invloed op de Elzasser textiel.

Als onderdeel van de "Impressies van de Rijzende Zon" tentoonstelling, is het Museum of Printed Textiles vereerd om de één van de meest Japanse Franse modehuizen te hosten, namelijk: LEONARD, uit Parijs. Ambassadeur van de Frans-Japanse relaties. Onderscheiden met de Orde van de Rijzende Zon, ontvangen van de keizer van Japan, heeft Daniel Triboullard, hoofd van het Huis LEONARD ons uitgenodigd zijn passie voor de oude Japanse cultuur, en zijn inspiratie daarvan door middel van zijn creaties.
In 1746, four young men from Mulhouse, Samuel Koechlin, Jean-Jacques Schmaltzer, Jean-Henri Dolfus and Jean-Jacques Feer, founded the city's first textile printing works. This modest venture proved to be the precursor to many others, and the effects of this industry can still be seen today.
During the 18th Century the city of Mulhouse grew rapidly, largely due to the implantation of numerous textile printers. The 19th Century, with its Industrial Revolution, led by the Textile Industry, saw the advent of Mulhouse and the Alsace area as world leaders in the manufacture and marketing of printed cloth. This heritage weaves the art, design and production of printed textiles intrinsically into the living history of Mulhouse and it's people.
As well as being a decorative art form, through which the variety of the innumerable motifs can be said to reflect the collective taste of over three centuries, the art and craft of printed textiles is also a complex industrial process which has had to expose itself to radically new processes, different forms of mechanization, and to constant research and development.
From the most homely and familiar design to the prestigious symbol of luxury, printed textiles for both home and apparel wear are all around us. Looking closely through their history, the habits and tastes of over three centuries of European private lives can be identified.

The Museu del Disseny de Barcelona conserves huge holdings – more than 70,000 objects – the result of merging the collections of the Museum of Decorative Arts, the Museum of Ceramics, the Museum of Textile and Clothing and the Graphic Arts Cabinet.
The museum is scheduled to open its doors to the public in winter 2014
Formerly housed at different sites and following different trajectories, the four collections – the cornerstone of the Museum – have now been brought together in a permanent home in a new building designed by MBM architects in Plaça de les Glòries. The building comprises two parts: an underground section made possible by the change in level caused by the reorganisation of the square; and a section at street level. It is in this, second, detached building that the permanent exhibitions will be housed, on four floors. The new premises provide the finest conditions for the conservation, restoration and exhibition of the Museum's heritage.
The Museu de les Arts Decoratives , whose heritage formed the basis for the establishment of the other museums as it grew, opened in 1932 in the Palau de Pedralbes. Its collections, unlike those of many other museums, royal and sumptuary in origin, are largely the result of donations from Barcelona collectors, businesses and artists. Since 1994, these holdings have included a collection devoted to industrial design. Constantly expanding, this collection is outstanding, in terms of both the number of objects and the designers represented in it.
The design museum, organised around the theme "from the decorative arts to design", is dedicated to the culture of the object, focusing on pieces that are often from the everyday, their design, manufacturing process, use and distribution, aesthetic and/or functional obsolescence and their transformation into museum pieces, all from a 21st-century perspective.
A new museography, one based on research and the generation and dissemination of knowledge about art and design, both past and present, and on experimentation. The museum also adopts a forward-looking stance that encourages new and diverse gazes at its rich collections, which form part of the city's heritage.

The art of Balenciaga - The collection of the Museo del Traje (Madrid)
11|04|2014 – 05|04|2015
The figure of Cristóbal Balenciaga transcends the fashion and Haute Couture worlds to take its place in the world of artistic creation in general. His cutting technique, the chromatic range of his designs and the mastery of his executions denote an enormous knowledge of the history of art and the great creators who make up his cultural baggage.
Through three thematically differentiated halls, the exhibition aspires to show the main artistic and aesthetic influences which determine the works of Cristóbal Balenciaga. Throughout the exhibition route, correspondences will be established between the creations of Balenciaga and the influence of artists like Zurbarán, Velázquez, Goya, Sorolla, Zuloaga, Picasso or Juan Gris.
And, as Cristóbal Balenciaga himself said, in a clear synthesis of his vision of dressmaking: "a good couturier must be an architect for shape, a painter for colour, a musician for harmony and a philosopher for temperance".

A "genuine and gentle" art - Laces and embroideries from the Antonia Suardi collection
17|10|2014 verlengd tot 31|05|2015
The Prato Textile Museum presents one of its most valuable collections, the personal collection of the Countess Antonia Suardi. The noblewoman was one of the main supporters of the guild "Industrie Femminili Italiane" (1903) and spent a lifetime in the research and in the dissemination of embroidery and lace.
Surrounded by an evocative atmosphere, the exhibition displays a fascinating selection of historic artefacts, embroideries, laces, and samples from Renaissance to the twentieth century. The original aim of the collection was to promote a new perspective of social emancipation troughout the teaching of ancient skills. Moreover the collection was aimed to to keep alive traditional techniques preserving them from the mechanization that spreaded at the beginning of XX century.
A rich documentation is enclosed to the artifacts, comprising original photos of handmade embroidery, the catalogue of the exhibition held in 1906, the accounting book of the school and a manuscript about embroidery designs made in 1570.
The collection testifies the diffused cultural and social passion poured in the art of embroidery and lace at the beginning of last century.

Stoffgewordene Visionen präsentiert das Textilmuseum St. Gallen, wo vom 19. Oktober 2014 bis März 2015 eine Auswahl exquisiter Kreationen aus den Herbst Winter Kollektionen 2015/16 der Schweizer Textilproduzent zu sehen sein wird.
Das Motto der aktuellen «Vision» lautet «Himmelsrichtungen». Und so versinnbildlichen warme, sommerlich leuchtende Farben und lebhafte Muster den Süden. Arktos, der Norden, gibt sich kühl bis frostig in Pastell, in Grau- und Weisstönen von verhaltener Struktur. Im Osten der Orient, eine vibrierende Melange von Braun-, Grün-, Gelb- und Orangetöne, Gewürzfarben, die an einen morgenländischen Bazar erinnern. Facettenreich das Abendland, der Westen, in Grün- und Blautönen, die in sämtlichen Schattierungen von Hell ins Dunkel, mal grell, mal gedeckt, changieren.
Ausgestellt sind Trends der Wintersaison 2015/16 in der Lounge im Erdgeschoss des Textilmuseums. Attraktiv arrangiert auf grossen Wandpanelen lassen sich die textilen Preziosen mit allen Sinnen erfahren, denn hier heisst es explizit „Berühren erwünscht!".

Die Geschichte Unter den Füssen - 3000 Jahre Schuhe
18|10|2014 – 06|04|2015
Diese Sonderausstellung ist einem Alltagsgegenstand gewidmet, der seit Jahrtausenden Frau, Mann und Kind als Schutz der Fusssohle dient, dem Schuh.
In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Northampton Museums and Art Gallery in England, das über die weltgrösste Sammlung historischer Schuhe verfügt, geht die Reise anhand von über 220 Schuhpaaren durch die Schuhmode der letzten 3000 Jahre. Neben einer reinen Schutzfunktion und der für viele Trägerinnen und Träger auch wichtigen Modefunktion hat der Schuh von jeher auch etwas mit dem gesellschaftlichen Status und der Gruppenzugehörigkeit zu tun. Im alten Ägypten durften nur Pharaonen Sandalen aus Gold- oder Silberblech tragen. Der älteste Schuh in der Ausstellung stammt aus Ägypten, aus der Zeit um 1000 vor Christus.
Jede Schuhform, die wir heute tragen, hat ihren Bezug zur Vergangenheit. Wir tragen immer auch ein Stück Geschichte an unseren Füssen. Und mittlerweile ist der Schuh auch in der Kunst angekommen. Über 30 Künstler aus der ganzen Welt stellen ihre Schuhkunstwerke für die Ausstellung zur Verfügung. Auch wird ein Blick in die Zukunft gewagt, mit Schuhen der Designer von morgen.
Thomas Murphy, englischer Schuhmacher von Massschuhen für Klein und Gross aus Richmond, wird an bestimmten Wochenenden sein Können zeigen. Unsere Besucherinnen und Besucher haben die Möglichkeit, hautnah mitzuerleben, wie ein Schuh noch heute in Handarbeit entsteht, und können zum Teil auch selber Hand anlegen.

The Amazing Shoemaker
19|04|2014 > eind datum nog niet bekend
The Museum deals with the world of fairy tales, in which adults and children continue to experience reality in its many and varied statements, through the mechanisms of fantasy and transfiguration...
The form of stories and films for children and adults, fairy tales are invading our imagination. As if now, more than ever, there was the need to address through the paths mysterious fantasy and dream the solutions, the answers to the set of moral questions, doubts and problems that plague our times. It is in times of crisis that presents itself increases the need to fantasize with imagination and overcome obstacles and fears. It is a universal necessity since this instinct is paramount. That is why fairy tales are considered inexhaustible reservoir of our archetypes, of our primitive experiences.

Inaugurated in 1948, the Hosiery Museum traces the history of a flourishing textile industry and underscores the very important social and economic role of this sector in Troyes. The collections comprise knitting machines and looms, the oldest of which dates from the 18th century, many articles made of stitching (bonnets and embroidered or pearled silk stockings) and abundant illustrations. A reconstitution of a 19th century crafts workshop and a film illustrate the daily life of workers, the swift technological changes and the creativity of the local inventors.
