La Mode en Majesté. Royal Thai Dress From Tradition to Modernity
The Musée des Arts Décoratifs presents a unique exhibition on the clothing evolution at the Thai court, featuring pieces from the royal collection.
Gathering more than a hundred exceptional garments and accessories, the exhibition showcases the royal wardrobes, highlighting the eight traditional Thai costume formats designed by Her Majesty Queen Sirikit in collaboration with a team of historians and local Thai designers. The exhibition also emphasizes the unique history of cultural and artistic dialogue, marked by over thirty years of collaboration between Queen Sirikit and fashion designer Pierre Balmain, later continued with the Balmain and Lesage houses.
Organized in collaboration with the Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles in Thailand and The Sustainable Arts and Crafts Institute of Thailand (SACIT), the exhibition coincides with the celebrations of the 170th and 340th anniversaries of diplomatic relations between France and Thailand (formerly the Kingdom of Siam).
