© 2013 Museum Associates/LACMA THE MAGAZINE EXHIBITIONS Fashion in Europe history in its own fashion Fashion, like painting, reflects the world. The industrious development of skills merges with a history of people, where forms often illustrate the societies that invent them. Through a sensual relationship between fabrics and movement, the couturier's eye captures lifestyles in a silhouette. He proposes them, fixes their ephemeral contours, and delineates their impression. Like a painter, he illustrates their spirit, too, and lays down the colours of a particular time. The garment, a 4 SEE THE VIDEO 98 GAZETTE DROUOT INTERNATIONAL I N° 23 fragile everyday item and the sociological and aesthetic witness of an epoch, becomes the expression of a civilisation. The LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of <strong>Art</strong>) understood this a long time ago, and has been adding historical clothing to its collections since 1915, even before its first paintings. And now, after a stopover in Berlin, the institution is presenting a collection of remarkable outfits and accessories built up over fifty years by two antique dealers and collectors of ancient fabrics: Martin Kamer from London, and Wolfgang Ruf from Switzerland. Reality transcended A circuit like a long, winding ribbon, dreamed up by stage designer Frédéric Beauclair, gradually unfolds the development of silhouettes. In simple, almost invisible display cases, these set up a comparison and a dialogue, like a conversation between models of all ages, which the visitor is invited to join in. Displayed with skilfully reflected viewpoints, we see around a hundred pieces plucked from two centuries of design between 1700 and 1915. Like a family tree, this journey through time reveals the association between forms, from late Louis XIV sack-back gowns with their scalloped ruffle sleeves to the fluid, slender forms of Paul Poiret worn up to the middle of the First World War. Like an immobile fashion show, this scholarly and even elitist panorama, though it may lack solid, explicit points of reference, reveals the predominance of French fashion in Europe through Turban, Paul Poiret, worn by Denise Poiret for the "Thousand and second night" party, 1911.
