Fashion Jewelry Design Course

The Museum of Decorative Arts presents for the first time a selection of haute couture, ready-to-wear and jewelry pieces in the permanent galleries dedicated to design from the 20th century to the present day.

This thematic presentation pays homage to famous jewelry houses and designers. The circuit highlights the collections of the great houses of Place Vendôme: Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, but also the fertile imagination of creators and artists like Jean Desprès, Jean Schlumberger, Florence Lehmann or even Costanza and Roger Jean- Pierre who showed great creativity.

This unique tour also reveals iconic pieces from the museum’s fashion collections and devotes an important place to designers such as Paco Rabanne, Issey Miyake and Rick Owens. The big fashion houses are also represented, Balmain by Olivier Rousteing, Christian Dior by John Galliano, or even Courrèges and its artistic director Nicolas de Felice, and also, Stéphane Rolland recently entered the collections.

This exhibition allows us to take a new look at design from the post-war period to the present day, French and international, deployed in a thematic journey from Nathalie du Pasquier to Martin Szekely, from Jean Prouvé to Charlotte Perriand, via Michael Graves , Roger Tallon and contemporaries Marc Newson and Pierre Charpin. It thus highlights the creative and historical links between the disciplines of Decorative Arts.

This visit shows the games of correspondence between forms, techniques and approaches revealed by the selection of works. Another way to sharpen your perspective and approach contemporary creation!
