‘Les Grandes Maisons’ Exhibition Officially Opens at Archicom Collection Gallery
The Archicom Collection Gallery has officially unveiled its new exhibition, "Les Grandes Maisons," dedicated to three iconic Parisian fashion houses: Dior, Chanel, and Yves Saint Laurent. The opening event featured British top model Heather Stewart-Whyte, celebrated for her campaigns with Dior and Yves Saint Laurent, who graced numerous covers of Vogue and Marie Claire.
The evening was enriched by musical performances from Reni Jusis, who captivated guests with songs from her latest French-language album, Je suis Reni, creating an authentic Parisian atmosphere.
"Les Grandes Maisons" marks the first exhibition in Warsaw to showcase archival creations and accessories from these fashion titans. Visitors can admire exquisite pieces, including a 1954 silk ball gown designed by Christian Dior, an iconic Chanel suit from 1963, and a women's tuxedo by Yves Saint Laurent, symbolizing feminine strength. The exhibition also features a rare Baccarat crystal perfume bottle, discontinued in the 1950s, and scarves that once captivated Sophia Loren.
