What's Happening?
Fashion designer Simon Porte Jacquemus is curating the 'Mythes' exhibition at the Collège des Bernardins in Paris, running from October 20-24, 2025. The exhibition, in collaboration with Galerie Chenel and Galerie Dina Vierny, juxtaposes works of antiquity with those of sculptor Aristide Maillol. This project reflects Jacquemus's ongoing exploration of the intersection between fashion and art, following his previous work with Christie's in New York.
Why It's Important?
Jacquemus's involvement in the 'Mythes' exhibition highlights the increasingly blurred lines between fashion and art, a trend gaining momentum in creative industries. By curating such exhibitions, fashion designers like Jacquemus expand their influence beyond traditional fashion boundaries, fostering cross-disciplinary collaborations. This trend not only enriches cultural experiences but also opens new avenues for artistic expression and audience engagement, potentially reshaping how fashion and art are perceived and consumed.
