Madame Grès, La couture à l'oeuvre

Catalogue of the exhibition "Madame Grès, la couture à l'oeuvre" presented at the Musée Bourdelle (March 25 - July 24, 2011). The exhibition brings together some 80 pieces from the collections of the Musée Galliera, as well as loans from private collectors and contemporary designers. Created from the 1930s to the 1980s, always in jersey, often ivory or pearl gray, these sculptural dresses withstand the test of time – photographed by Richard Avedon and Guy Bourdin, they are widely published in women's magazines.
