The Palais Galliera is presenting the third and final part of its collections exhibition Fashion on the Move. With more than 180 new items from the museum's collections on display, the exhibition retraces the history of fashion from the eighteenth century to the present day, exploring the way in which fashion has adapted to the body in movement. The focus of this installation is winter sports.

A large section of this last instalment of the exhibition is devoted to winter sports, tracing the emergence of high-altitude resorts and the development of new winter sports such as skiing, tobogganing, ice hockey, ice skating and sledding, as well as the gradual emergence of specially adapted outfits and accessories from specialist equipment manufacturers (including Rossignol, Tunmer and Mavest), fashion houses (including Hermès, Jean Patou and Madeline de Rauch) as well as collaborations between the two. This section is also an opportunity to discover the museum's extensive collection of down jackets, ski suits, stirrup ski pants and knitted accessories.
