La Mode en majesté. Haute couture et tradition à la cour de Thaïlande

The Museum of Decorative Arts presents an unprecedented exhibition on the evolution of dress at the Thai court, with pieces from the royal collection.

Gathering more than a hundred exceptional outfits and accessories, the exhibition showcases the royal wardrobes, highlighting the eight styles of traditional Thai costumes designed by Her Majesty Queen Sirikit in collaboration with a team of historians and local Thai designers. Furthermore, the exhibition highlights the unique history of cultural and artistic dialogue, marked by more than thirty years of collaboration between Her Majesty Queen Sirikit and fashion designer Pierre Balmain, later continued with the Balmain and Lesage houses.

This exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles (QSMT) in Thailand and The Sustainable Arts and Crafts Institute of Thailand (SACIT). The exhibition is part of the celebrations marking the 340th anniversary of the first diplomatic relationship and the 170th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between France and Thailand.
