Mannequin - Le corps de la mode

Cite de la Mode et du Design, Paris

The show, examines why trends like wasp waists, swan necks, or 5'11'' frames (a' la Karlie Kloss) have driven women's aesthetic aspirations since the first models replaced store mannequins in late-nineteenth-century Paris. Curator Sylvie Lecallier sifted through fashion magazine illustrations, photographs, and videos to chart the jump from one fashionable body type to the next: the twenties knock-kneed flappers, the sixties childlike Courreges girls sans hips, waists, or breasts, the eighties power women who were captured in Helmut Newton's Big Nudes, and beyond.
