The Museum of Decorative Arts combines Fashion & Sport

 

9

Ready, set, go ! Put on your most beautiful sneakers because something tells us that the Museum of Decorative Arts is already telling us the fall-winter trend for next season: fashion will be sportswear or it won't be. As the 2024 Olympic Games approach, the Parisian institution is attacking a new fitness program by orchestrating a quirky haute couture show exploring the unexpected links that unite the fashion world with the world of sport. Two apparently contradictory universes, but which both share a reflection around the body and an undisguised love for the catwalks. From cumbersome 19th century tennis dresses to the iconic Lacoste polo shirt, the museum traces the history of sportswear from Antiquity to the present day, while paying homage to the fashion designers who pioneered the field during the inter- wars that are Coco Chanel, Jeanne Lanvin, Jean Patou or Elsa Schiaparelli. The conclusion of this lap belongs to the sportiest of creators, René Lacoste: “ Playing and winning is not enough, you still have to master your style. » A lesson in fashion whose legacy and benefits we will soon be able to admire directly on the field and on the bodies of our athletes.
