The storied Paris museum Le Louvre will host some of the late German designer’s haute couture and Métiers d’art creations for Chanel in January. It is the first time the Louvre has created an exhibition about fashion and its own collections. After catwalk on the top of the Louvre, here is fashion that is entering under the pyramid.

About 65 ensembles and 30 accessories will be on display during the exhibition, whose title has yet to be determined. These will be installed across the 9,700 square feet that showcase the Louvre’s vast decorative arts holdings, which range from suits of armor, ceramics, ivories, tapestries, scientific instruments, jewelry, bronzes, stained glass and silverware to the lavish Napoleon III apartments.

In the absence of its own fashion holdings, the Louvre borrows looks from designers and houses in France, Italy, the U.K., and the U.S. for France’s the national fashion collection belongs to “les Arts Décoratifs”.

It celebrates the fact that fashion designers and other creatives who are nurtured by museums are often their best ambassadors, drawing different perceptions and connections than curators.
