It was a miraculous space where various talents crossed genres and unleashed rich creativity.In particular, the activities of women were astounding. Laurencin pursued feminine beauty, and Chanel incorporated men's materials and sportswear into women's clothing.This exhibition focuses on the activities of these two artists who crossed the boundary between art and fashion, and also explores their relationships with people who colored the times, such as Paul Poiret, Jean Cocteau, Man Ray, and Madeleine Vionnet. While touching, you will get a bird's-eye view of the art world of Paris between the two world wars, where the modern and the classic are exquisitely fused.
