EPISODE #50: Fashion Stories & The Louvre Couture exhibition – When objects of art become source of inspiration (English version)
Description
What if a visit to the museum became the starting point for a creative journey?
In this episode of My Fashion Stories Box Podcast, I take you to the heart of the Louvre Couture exhibition, on display at the Louvre Museum until July 21, 2025. An exhibition that reveals the intimate dialogues between ancient art objects and contemporary creations from the greatest fashion houses.
Throughout this audio tour:
- I guide you through the galleries of the past, like a blind visit to a museum populated by ghostly silhouettes.
- I decipher three contemporary creations inspired by the decorative arts from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
- I explore how designers translate visual heritage into the language of fashion.
- And I ask: why does fashion always return to history?
A journey through art, textiles, and memory, to be listened to like a sensory stroll through the corridors of the Louvre.
