Salon de Couture

Estimated running time: 25'
Tickets on sale soon

Salon de Couture, the first fashion show without clothes in the history of fashion, was Olivier Saillard's very first creation. Created in 2006 and never performed since, it features Violeta Sanchez, muse and model to Yves Saint Laurent and Helmut Newton, in a ghostly fashion show. While the scenic protocol of haute couture is respected - salon chairs, catwalks, bouquets of flowers - all that remains of the clothes are the descriptions that Violeta, like an orderly salon director, carefully utters, as was customary in fashion houses up until the 1950s. Memories of fabrics, shapes and materials, the clothes, melted like snow in the sun, sewn from memory, parade to the sound of her voice. The performance takes place inside the Ron Mueck's exhibition space.

Info

The ticket provides access to the Ron Mueck exhibition on the day of the performance.
