At the Palais Galliera, Un vestiaire à soi explores how women in the 19th century made clothing associated with men their own. Nearly 500 garments and images trace these practices, from riding habits to trousers and tailored suits. Rosa Bonheur’s wardrobe is displayed in its entirety for the first time.

These clothes take on new meaning when viewed alongside the portraits and photographs brought together in the exhibition. Princess Murat’s riding trousers, made by Creed & Co. in the early 20th century, offer a tangible example of how horse riding helped reshape women’s wardrobes. From there, the exhibition turns to other ways of adopting masculine dress, whether for work or public appearances. Rosa Bonheur’s wardrobe gives this subject particular depth. Through several garments belonging to the same person, it reveals how an individual way of dressing takes shape.

George Sand and Natalie Clifford Barney appear alongside women whose names are often unknown, but whose photographs preserve a record of their lives. Their images reveal choices that portraits of famous figures cast in a different light. Moving from the world of work to the artistic and lesbian circles of Paris around 1900, the exhibition traces several ways in which women challenged the conventions of feminine dress.
