Louvre’s first fashion show kicks off january 2025

Get ready for a fashion spectacle like no other as the Louvre makes history with its first-ever haute couture exhibition from January 24 to July 21, 2025. For the first time, the world’s largest museum is venturing into the realm of high fashion, blending it seamlessly with its legendary collections. 

Picture this, 65 exquisite outfits and 30 glamorous accessories from icons like Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld, Yohji Yamamoto, and Dolce & Gabbana, displayed alongside ancient armor and Renaissance masterpieces, where fashion dialogues with history in the grandest of settings.

This show isn’t just about clothes—it’s about how centuries-old artistry continues to shape the catwalks of today. Even the exhibition’s layout will be a revelation, pairing haute couture with historical artifacts, offering a chic conversation between eras. 

And let’s not forget Marie-Louise Carven, a true Parisian fashion icon who adored art and generously donated 18th-century French treasures to the museum. Her spirit will grace the exhibition, showcasing how art and fashion have always been, and always will be, intertwined.

In a fun twist, did you know that the Louvre’s last fashion-centric moment was in 1985 when Princess Diana stole the spotlight wearing a chic red gown at a gala in the museum? Though the Louvre doesn’t house its own fashion collection, it will feature looks from across Europe and the U.S., making this event as international as it is luxurious. Prepare to see history not just told, but worn. 

At Decouvertes, we invite you to experience this fusion of art and couture up close with a private, guided tour through this magnificent display. Let our Experience Designers craft a luxurious visit to the Louvre and other exclusive Parisian landmarks that will leave you in awe.
