A collection that runs parallel to the history of fashion and the history of art: from the famous 1965 sheath dress to Piet Mondrian and the painting that inspired him “Composition en rouge, bleu et blanc II”, the 1979 evening dress that recalls the work of Pablo Picasso, but also paintings, photographs and jewels collected throughout his life by the famous French designer.
