In the run-up to the 2024 Olympic Games, from September 20, 2023 to April 7, 2024, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris presents "Fashion and Sport, from one podium to another", an exhibition exploring the fascinating links between fashion and sport, from Antiquity to the present day. This far-reaching project reveals how two seemingly distant worlds share the same social issues, revolving around the body.
450 pieces of clothing and accessories, photographs, sketches, magazines, posters, paintings, sculptures and videos highlight the evolution of sportswear and its influence on contemporary fashion. Jean Patou, Jeanne Lanvin, Gabrielle Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli were among the pioneers who took an interest in the world of sportswear during the interwar period and transcribed it into their haute couture creations. The exhibition shows how sportswear took sportswear away from its specific use and integrated it into everyday wardrobes. The question of comfort, which runs through the exhibition, helps us to understand why jogging suits and sneakers have become fashion staples, both for everyday wear and for haute couture, from Balenciaga to Off-White.
