Oui les amis! Quebec City will have the honor of hosting a special exhibition of Haute Couture, true Haute Couture that is. Titled the “Golden Age of Couture : Paris and London, 1947-1957″, the exhibit will feature more than 250 unique pieces from well-known French couture houses such as Dior, Givenchy, Balenciaga and Balmain (the original).
It will be held at the Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Quebec from Feb 4 to April 25, 2010.
The website already has a lovely preview of some of the pieces. Simply divine! Now that’s what I call true couture fashion.
I feel fortunate that Montreal and Quebec are recipients for some of the loveliest couture exhibitions. First Repetto’s 60th anniversary, then YSL’s Retrospective Expo, and now this.
Vive la mode!
