Paul Poiret: Fashion is a Celebration

Catherine Lebrun

30 December 2025

If you’re in Paris, there are still a few days left to see “Paul Poiret, Fashion is a Celebration” at the Museum of Decorative Arts (until January 11). The exhibition presents the work of the French couturier, who was also an artist, collector and epicurean, a daring and extravagant man who ended his life in poverty.

Poiret followed in the footsteps of Charles Frederick Worth, the father of haute couture, to whom the Petit Palais dedicated an exhibition last summer. Through a dazzling collection of dresses, coats and ensembles, as well as illustrations, posters and photos, the Poiret exhibition offers a journey through the Belle Époque and the Roaring Twenties.

Every time the creative director of a major brand leaves, the name of the Belgian designer surfaces. These days, fashion insiders say Mulier could be joining Versace and replace Dario Vitale after his one-season stint and official exit last month. However, an announcement does not appear imminent. Parent Richemont is not going to let Mulier go so easily.
