Chance and curiosity encourage encounters.
Marie-Claude Beaud, Director of the New National Museum of Monaco, discovered a world, two singular personalities, those of Livia Stoianova and Yassen Samouilov, but above all a real passion for fashion, accessories and staging. The latter breathes new life into the NMNM collections. The marriage of two visions of fashion, that of the 19th century dolls and their own! The transformation of the Villa Sauber was a result of this. Haute Couture outfits extend the refinement of this miniature world, while hybrid beings spring from their extravagant imaginations.
From the raves of the Second Empire to contemporary night clubbing, from the astonishing black furniture to the universal magic of white, from dinner jackets to wedding dresses, the exhibition offers a playful exploration of the ways of the world. A mixture of the real and the dreamed of, On Aura Tout Vu is a mixture of codes and fashions.
This new collaboration at NMNM is the second part of the exhibition format "Looking up™" imagined by NMNM and inaugurated with the artist Yinka Shonibare, MBE, proposing a real dialogue between heritage works and contemporary creation.
