Considered one of the most atypical and avant-garde designers of his generation, Martin Margiela founded his Maison twenty-five years ago. From 2015 to 2025, John Galliano served as its artistic director, who has now entrusted it to Glen Martens, an Antwerp designer like Martin Margiela, who, while retaining some of the Maison’s original codes, continues an almost conceptual and always innovative adventure.
A chic, Parisian style, with urban colors and cuts, that has dressed women all over the world for nearly sixty years. After Céline Vipiana, the brand’s creator, known for the famous loafers and knit blouses with the “double C” logo, Peggy Huynh-Kin was appointed Artistic Director by Bernard Arnault when LVMH acquired CELINE in 1987. Michael Kors, Roberto Menichetti, Ivana Omazic, Phoebe Philo, and Hedi Slimane succeeded her before the surprise arrival of Michael Rider, who had already worked for the House alongside Phoebe Philo from 2008 to 2018.
Founded in 1913 by Mario Prada, the brand gained international recognition in the fashion world with the arrival of his granddaughter, Miuccia Prada, in the late 1970s. In 1988, she created her first ready-to-wear line for women, and five years later, the Miu Miu line (a diminutive of Miuccia), which was less expensive and more rebellious. Miuccia Prada is a fashion visionary, even if the term is often overused; she helped shape the style of the late 1990s, with its military influences and oversized clothing. Since 2020, she has worked alongside Raf Simons, and each of their collections has become a true artistic dialogue around elegance and femininity.
He is the icon of British dandyism. His style is recognizable by the colors and stripes he uses for his clothes, designed in Nottingham and London and produced in England and Italy. It is the combination of tradition and originality, this world that is both British and unconventional, that has made Paul Smith successful for almost 50 years.
Born in the late 80s, En Attendant les Barbares is known for being the publisher of the first creations of Elisabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti. His approach has always been to try to break down the boundaries between design and decorative art, for example by emphasizing the work of craftsmen. Over time, many designers from different generations and backgrounds have joined the gallery, bringing their touch to the eclecticism that makes its identity, among them Christian Ghion, Arik Lévy, Mark Brazier-Jones, André Dubreuil or Matt Sindall.
When Aristide Maillol died, Dina Vierny, who was his Muse and his companion, decided to create a foundation. This foundation was inaugurated in 1995. The Musée Maillol gathers together a collection of drawings, engravings, paintings and sculptures of the artist, but also his personal collection in which we can find some works of art by Ingres, Cézanne, Matisse, Degas or Picasso.
The museum regularly organizes temporary exhibitions dedicated to antique and modern art, but also to contemporary art and to the major artists of the 20th century.
