For the first time, the Palais Galliera is joining forces with the Petit Palais to present an exceptional exhibition dedicated to the House of Worth.
Charles Frederick Worth (1825-1895), born in England, was a key figure in the history of fashion and the founder of a fashion house that became the epitome of Parisian luxury. At the origin of haute couture, Worth founded his eponymous house at 7 rue de la Paix, whose history spans four generations and almost a century.Spread over 1100 m2 in the grand galleries of the Petit
Palais, this retrospective brings together more than 400 works - clothing,
objects and accessories, paintings and graphics - to create a vast fresco of
the creations of the House of Worth, as well as the protagonists who have
written its history. It promises to be an exceptional exhibition, given the
fragility of the pieces on display, the number of silhouettes (almost 80) and
the way in which a world in the making and its legacy are portrayed, based on
extensive documentation.
From the Second Empire to the Roaring Twenties, a page of
history is being written: that of the invention of the figure of the great
couturier and of the mechanisms for creating and marketing fashion that are
still in force and whose foundations were laid by Worth at the end of the 19th
century.
