It is a privilege to work with the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, esteemed curator Pamela Golbin and  international designer Christian Biecher to bring the very best of French fashion to Adelaide. We anticipate that an exhibition of this calibre and content will have broad cross-generational appeal and provide inspiration to the Australian fashion industry.
