This summer, Paris celebrates the genius of renowned fashion designers through a series of exceptional exhibitions. As a global fashion capital, the city pays tribute to the creators who have shaped the history of clothing, both past and present.

It’s a wonderful opportunity for guests of the Hôtel des Mines to discover a different side of the City of Light — one of elegance and timeless style.

 

Paul Poiret in the Spotlight at the Museum of Decorative Arts

The Musée des Arts Décoratifs, just a few RER stops from the Hôtel des Mines, is hosting a unique exhibition dedicated to Paul Poiret (1879–1944). Titled Paul Poiret, Fashion is a Celebration, this major retrospective — the first of its kind — runs until January 11, 2026. A key figure in early 20th-century haute couture, Poiret is renowned for freeing women from the corset, inventing the flowing dress, and redefining the female silhouette.

Lavish costumes, luxurious fabrics, perfumes, and art objects offer an immersive journey into the festive, bold, and visionary world of the designer.

 

A Couture Season in the Capital’s Museums

Beyond Paul Poiret, several other Parisian museums are shining a spotlight on fashion. The Palais Galliera, the City of Paris Fashion Museum, regularly features exhibitions dedicated to the great names of contemporary couture.

From Christian Dior to Yves Saint Laurent, alongside emerging designers, fashion is showcased as a full-fledged art form — ever-evolving and deeply creative.
