In total, approximately 130 exhibits will be presented, from ancient corsets of the XIXth century to the very first custom-made bras, and from the very first girdles to contemporary items.

A wide and glamorous selection of landmark pieces will trace the evolution of techniques and materials, including both the history of intimacy and the narrative of women’s liberation.All of these unique pieces reflect the daily lives of millions of women and were sold all over the world.

These corsets, panties, bras, girdles, thongs, and bodysuits will also come to life through video installations, advertisements, and the most outstanding photographs from each era. Holographic sequences will evoke the evolution of lingerie, changes in the aesthetic of the female body, and the expression of emotion and movement that defines the crossroads of form and function.

Last but not least, an amazing 3D animation illustrates the construction of a bra: no less than thirty pieces of various origins and materials need to be dyed and assembled to the precision of a millimetre, while meeting specific safety standards required of lingerie since it is the first element that touches the skin… a truly unique savoir-faire!
