Elsa Schiaparelli was a fashion icon who created bold and artistic designs. She embodied a vision of Paris that was vibrant and brilliant. Her revolutionary approach to fashion allowed her to separate herself from other designers in the 1920s and 30s and continues to influence the fashion world today. “Shocking! The Surrealist World of Elsa Schiaparelli” honors Schiaparelli with 577 works including 212 costume and fashion accessories, with 365 paintings, sculptures, jewelry, perfume bottles, posters, ceramics and pictures. Some of the pieces are signed by the biggest names of the times, Man Ray, Jean Cocteau and Meret Oppenheim. Hundreds of sketches and drawings from Schiaparelli are on display in this immersive experience. These pieces allow visitors to experience the freedom of dialogue, the freedom to be oneself, the freedom to create. Schiaparelli became famous for her knitwear with optical illusions, her innovation in womens sportswear, and her surrealist designs. The exhibit starts with her sketches of some of her most famous pieces and then displays her work at the beginning of her career. Her revolutionary knitwear is on display and highlights her relationship with fashion designer Paul Poiret, who encouraged her to enter the world of fashion. As visitors continue through the exhibit, they are able to view Schiaparelli’s thrilling designs and her collaboration with other artists. Schiaparelli wrote in her memoirs that she found working with other artists exciting because she believed that fashion allowed for all kinds of artistic contributions at each stage of the creative process of the collection. Schiaparelli’s love for surrealism allowed her and Salvador Dali to connect and work together to make amazing art. The two shared an unlimited imagination, allowing them to make suggestive and provocative designs. The exhibit includes a room dedicated to their relationship and works Schiaparelli created with inspiration and collaboration from Schiaparelli. Outstanding pieces like her tear dress, shoe hat, and lobster dress, are all on display. Schiaparelli grows her fashion house to the famous Place de Vendome and creates outstanding collections displayed in the exhibit. Walking through the rooms immerses visitors into the world of Schiaparelli and her surrealist designs. While the house of Schiaparelli closed in 1954, in 2006 Diego Della Valle bought the iconic fashion house and reopened its doors at Place de Vendome. Today, the fashion house continues to dress prominent figures around the world, even designing Lady Gaga’s dress she wore at President Joe Biden’s inaguratioin. The exhibit finishes with displaying the fashion houses latest designs, illustrating the next generation of Schiaparelli muses who continue to shape culture and the conversation around it. Shocking! The Surrealist World of Elsa Schiaparelli, is open now and will close January 22, 2023. The exhibit will be on display at the Musée des Arts Decoratifs. You can book your ticket on their website.

La Maison Chaumet is one of the most historic jewelry houses in the world. Being the official jeweler of Queen Marie Antoinette and then of Empress Josephine allowed Marie-Etienne Nitot (with will later become the Maison Chaumet) to create outstanding pieces of jewelry, including crowns, brooches and bracelets for more than 240 years. Chaumet has been the most sought after jeweler for hundreds of years and now some of Chaumet’s most beautiful creations are on display at the exhibit "Végétal" at the school of Beaux-Arts Paris, along with rare drawings from scientists, designs from Yves Saint Laurent and Dior, paintings from the Louvre and Musée d’Orsay, and much more. A walk through nature With no chronological order in the exhibit, visitors can truly be suspended in time, and appreciate all aspects of nature and its depiction in art. This extraordinary immersive journey takes you through a world of botany drawing on some of the most historical pieces from Chaumet and many other art forms. Inspired by nature, the exhibit includes over 400 works. There are nearly 100 pieces from Chaumet, paired with works from Monet, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent. Over 70 museums, foundations, galleries and private collectors have lent works, including Musée d’Orsay, the Louvre and the Institut de France. All of these pieces work together to allow visitors to truly see the inspiration from nature told through art. A rare meeting between the arts and sciences The exhibit takes a botanist point of view, drawing on some of the most historical pieces from Chaumet and other artists.
