The year 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of Art Deco, but also the 50th anniversary of the Van Buuren Museum and Gardens. To celebrate this double anniversary, the Fashion & Lace Museum is lending the latter four iconic silhouettes from the Art Deco era. Two daytime pieces and two evening pieces, bold, modern and imbued with the aesthetic renewal of the post-war period, fit perfectly into the van Buuren collection.
For the first time, the Fashion & Lace Museum is exhibiting its Fontaine Lumineuse evening gown attributed to Jeanne Lanvin. This piece perfectly illustrates the linear cut adorned with geometric and abstract embroidery typical of the 1920s and 1930s. In contrast, there are two sober, comfortable and practical daytime silhouettes. Iconographic documents from the museum and the Archives of the City of Brussels place the pieces in the context of the interwar period. A real immersion in Art Deco fashion, with rare pieces!
