Cheveux et Poils (Hair & Hairs)

Event Description

An exciting and unique show at the Musée des Arts décoratifs is all about hair. “Cheveux et Poils” brings together 600 works, from the 15th century to contemporary times, examining themes related to the history of hairstyles. After all, hair is an essential part of one’s identity, and a means of expressing convictions and/or protests. The exhibition explores the relationship between body and fashion by demonstrating how hairstyles and the grooming of human hair have contributed to the construction of appearances for centuries.
