Sono tornato 2 giorni fa da una vacanza lunga 10 giorni in Francia - Bordeaux, Arcachon, Parigi, con una deviazione di 24 ore a Bergamo- e in progamma a Parigi c'e' stata la visita alla mostra 'Dries Van Noten Inpisrations' al Musee Des Art Deocratifs di cui avevo letto su Style Bubble lo scorso febbraio.Una mostra che mette in luce l'ispirazione, in senso largo, dello stilista belga, e che sopratutto, come da parole sue, mostra il legame tra le sue creazioni, il mondo dell'arte e, aggiungo io, la storia della moda. Infatti le collezioni  di Dries Van Noten, suddivise per temi, sono accostate a dipinti, sculture, e film che le hanno ispirate e ad abiti ed accessori che fanno parte dell'archivio del Musee Des Arts Decoratifs. 
Come per la mostra di Prada ad Harrods a maggio, poter vedere ed ammirare da vicino abiti, che di solito vedo su uno schermo in foto o in streaming durante le sfilate, e' un'esperienza elettrizante, che questa volta ha avuto un ENORME BONUS, visto che gli abiti Dries Van Noten erano in ottima compagnia: un Poiret del 1924, uno Schiaparelli del 1937, un Dior del 1947, un Balnciaga del 1952, uno Chanel del 1957 o un Saint Laurent del 1979, solo per citarne alcuni.

Got back home 2 days ago from a 10 days holiday in France - Bordeaux, Arcachon, Paris and 24hours detour in Bergamo - and in Paris I visited the exhibition 'Dries Van Noten. Inspirations' at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs that I read about on Style Bubble last Febraury.An exhibition that sheds light on the inspiration, generally speaking, of the Dutch designer, and that above all, in his own words, shows the links between his creations, the art world and, I add, the history of fashion. In fact the Dries Van Noten collections, divided into themes, are showcased next to paintings, sculptures and films that inspired them and next to clothes and accessories that are part of the archives of the Musee Des Art Decoratifs.
As for the Prada exhibition at Harrods back in May, to be able to see and admire closely clothes that I usually look at on a computer screen or video streaming during fashion week, is an electrifying experience, that this time had a HUGE BONUS, as the Dries Van Noten clothes were in excellent company: a 1924 Poiret, a 1937 Schiaparelli, a 1947 Dior, a 1952 Balenciaga, a 1957 Chanel or a 1979 Saint Laurent, among many others.

Le varie stanze ed i temi in cui gli abiti e le ispirazioni erano suddivisi erano completamente buie, illuminate solamente da faretti che illuminavano le collezioni e gli oggetti ispiratori, dietro teche di vetro, e dai muri tappezzati dalle creazioni floreali dell'artista Makoto Azuma, fotografate e digitalmente manipolate da Shiinoki Shunsuke. Per questo le foto da me scattate sono abbastanza buie ed i manichini emergono dal buio con silhouette e colori appena accennati.
Dries Van Noten,in un'intervista fatta in occasione della mostra, descrive il suo stile come ''un contrasto di elementi [...]in cui a volte il contrasto e' accennato ma sempre contrasto. [...]; una mescolanza che crea tensione''. Senza scendere troppo nello specifico nei temi della mostra - che spaziano dalle farfalle all'oro, dai fiori ai grafismi, da Francis Bacon ai dandy - lo stile eclettico e irriverente per cui Dries Van Noten e' conosciuto, viene fatto risaltare risaltare molto bene di teca in teca, fino al punto di aver l'impressione di sfogliare un'enciclopedia in ordine sparso. Vi lascio con le immagini da me scattate e laddovegli abiti sono i MERAVIGLIOSI capi storici di Balenciaga&co. ho messo una didascalia per sottolinearne l'importanza.

The rooms and the themes in which the clothes and the inspirations were dived were completely in the dark, lit only by the spotlights directed on the collections and the objects of inspiration, behind glass display cabinets and with the walls covered by the floral creation of the artist Makoto Azuma, photographed and digitally manipulated by Shiinoki Shunsuke. For this reason my pictures are quite dark and the manequins emerge from the darkness with silhouettes and colours that you can just be seen.

Dries Van Noten, in an interview for the opening of the exhibition, describes his style as ''a clashing of elements [...] in which sometimes the clash is gentle but still a clash. [...] a mix up of things that creates tension''.Without going into the details of the themes of the exhibition - that ranges from butterflies to gold, from flowers to graphism, from Francis Bacon to the dandy - the eclectic and irreverent style that he's known for, stands out really well from cabinet to cabinet up to the point that you have the impression of browsing an encyclopedia in random order.
I leave you with the pictures that I took and wherever the clothes are the WONDERFUL creations of Balenciaga&co. I added a caption to underline their importance.
