Fashion Exhibitions Around The World To See In 2023

A fresh new year means a new programme for museums in the world’s greatest fashion capitals. From the key events of 1997 at the Palais Galliera in Paris to a Karl Lagerfeld tribute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, here are the five must-see fashion exhibitions for 2023.

‘Christian Dior : Designer of Dreams’ at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo

After Paris, London and New York, this retrospective devoted to Christian Dior has just landed in Tokyo, focusing exceptionally on the close ties between Dior and Japan. The exhibition explores the great couturier’s influences, as well as his passion for gardens, and his most emblematic creations, such as the Bar suit, synonymous with the New Look.

Here, the show’s scenography has been specifically designed to pay tribute to Japanese culture. But that’s not all, as visitors can also admire haute couture creations and accessories designed by the creative directors who succeeded Christian Dior, including Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, John Galliano and Maria Grazia Chiuri.
