On the occasion of the reopening of the fashion galleries, entirely renovated thanks to the patronage of Stephen and Christine Schwarzman, the @MADParis presents a large #exhibition, until July, 14th 2020, devoted to the famous American fashion magazine @HarpersBazaar. Sixty #HauteCouture and #PretAPorter creations, mainly from the museum’s collections, punctuated by loans of prestigious iconic pieces, are also presented in correspondence with their publication, in this magazine.
Launched in 1867 in #NewYork by Harper & Brothers, #HarpersBazaar was ever aimed at educating women in #fashion, society, art and #literature.
Respecting the tradition of European fashion #gazette, this publication presents the originality of a certain commitment to the cause of women.
Its first editor, Mary Louise Booth was a #suffragist, abolitionist and supporter of the Union during the American Civil War. This passionate has spilled over into the history of the magazine. In the 20th century, #Picasso, #Cocteau, #Matisse were among the many #French artists with whom the magazine surrounded itself. Bazaar also devotes articles to #American School figures such as #JacksonPollock, #FranckStella and William Burroughs.
It is also a literary review of international scope which welcomes the writings of #Colette, Simone de Beauvoir, Françoise Sagan, Jean Genet, André Malraux while paying English writers primary attention: #CharlesDickens, #VirginiaWoolf, #PatriciaHighsmith, #TrumanCapote or Carson McCullers wrote in Bazaar.
Beyond the content, it is the aesthetic aspect of the graphic composition that constitutes the richness of the magazine. The eyes of the great photographers and illustrators who have made Bazaar famous are thus put into perspective to sum up a century and a half of fashion, with the work of: Charles-Frederick Worth, Paul Poiret, Jeanne Lanvin, Madeleine Vionnet, Elsa Schiaparelli, Christian Dior, Cristobal Balenciaga owe part of their myth to the influence of Bazaar.
