Girls. Adolescence, mode, rébellion

The exhibition Girls. Adolescence, Fashion, Rebellion at the Grand Palais explores how art, fashion and cinema portray teenage girls. Clothing, accessories, photographs, archives and everyday objects trace how these images are constructed, from prescribed role models to ways of reclaiming them.

The exhibition brings the perspectives of Louise Bourgeois and Sofia Coppola into conversation with designs by Martin Margiela, Simone Rocha and Jenny Fax, among others. A garment can restrict the body, signal belonging or become a means of self-expression; similarly, a bedroom or a magazine page can encapsulate the expectations placed on young girls.

Across five sections, the exhibition shifts between intimate memories, daydreams, boredom and collective representations. Developed in dialogue with teenagers, it also questions the gender categories that shape these narratives. The project from MoMu in Antwerp has been adapted for Paris, curated by Elisa De Wyngaert.
