This is the exciting news of spring: an inspiring thematic exhibition dedicated to blue, the universal color; the one that speaks most to Mediterranean cultures. For this unique experience, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs has partnered with the Grobet-Labadié and Beaux-Arts museums, with loans available. Drawn from the permanent collections, the featured works boldly explore new avenues, connections, and spaces: earthenware, painting, graphic arts, design, jewelry, fashion—the result is striking! The "White and Blue" pieces from Marseille and Moustiers recount the golden age of ceramics, local dynasties, and Chinese, Portuguese, and Dutch influences. In the magnificent gilded salon, evening gowns take center stage, from the 1940s and 50s to the disco era. On the first ^floor , the blue of the Enlightenment, its portraits, objects, clothing, and accessories, unveil the intimate and refined world of the 18th ^century . Aesthetics transcend time. Beneath the vaulted ceilings of the former chapel, a Loris Azzaro gown drapes a monastic scene. Chanel, Schiaparelli, Lanvin, Courrèges, Alaïa, and Balenciaga unleash their cuts and details in an inventory of everyday life. The colors pop: petrol blue, cobalt, neon, pastel, and vibrant pop. The turquoise, transcended by ceramicist Théodore Deck, is an odyssey in itself. Before plunging into the Fashion Gallery, one of the highlights of the exhibition: for while the Borély collection boasts some 8,000 pieces, here it has chosen denim and the color "blue denim" to shake things up. In the cheerful display cases, Popy Moreni and Fred Sathal introduce emerging designers, recipients of grants from the Maison Mode Méditerranée Endowment Fund. As bearers of memory, these builders of tomorrow, working in the service of a visionary, sustainable and committed fashion, dress us in style!
