On the evening of March 8th, the Louvre exhibited the Louis Vuitton autumn and winter ready-to-wear series 20 17 designed by Nicolas Gasquayle. As one of the highlights of this Paris Fashion Week, this appearance attracted journalists, celebrities and fashionistas from all over the world, which not only made Bernard Arnault's fashion brand shine, but also made the Louvre appear in the global media coverage of this event.
There is nothing special about holding a fashion show in a museum. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has been holding large-scale exhibitions during London Fashion Week, showing the works of young designers and high-end brands. However, this is the first time that the Louvre has opened its doors to such activities. ?
It remains to be seen whether the Louvre will continue to lend their famous exhibition halls during Fashion Week, but the cooperation between Burberry and henry moore Foundation is progressing smoothly, and fashion has also brought record exhibition visitors to Virginia and Metropolitan Museum of Art. ..
Although the number of visitors to the Louvre has decreased recently, it seems that the Louvre is facing a double-edged sword of success. Just this week, the staff of the Louvre threatened to go on strike because they were not ready for the exhibition "Vermeer and the Master of Genre Painting" to cope with the crowd. In addition, environmentalists protested against Total Oil Company in the exhibition hall.
