"This is the first time that the museum has granted use of the Denon peristyle
for a fashion show, and we are proud to bring our Italian style and history to life in such a spectacular and exceptional place as the Louvre. We are fine-tuning each and every detail so the end result of this once-in-a-lifetime event will be absolutely perfect.”

The renowned “Made in Italy” luxury brand - one of the most important and well-known in the world - is the exclusive sponsor of the Louvre’s current exhibition, “Saint Anne, Leonardo Da Vinci’s Ultimate Masterpiece", celebrating the recent restoration of the "The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne" - the famous oil painting by the Italian genius.

The exhibition –supported through the partnership between Salvatore Ferragamo and the Louvre, brings culture and the arts together with the world of fashion and will be open to the public until 25th June 2012. It has already been seen by over 200,000 visitors, making it one of the most significant events organised by the museum in recent years.

What a historical event in a spectacular location. It really looks like a temple - stunning!

How do you like the collection? Should the Louvre host more fashion shows in the future?

  2. Interning. It seems we're in for another year of over the knee boots.
    Is the louvre in need of money? Must be a nice place for a fashion show.

  3. @Heather: YAY for another year of over the knee boots - I didn`t find an elegant pair last season so I`m glad I`m getting another chance.

    Ferragamo generously sponsored the latest da Vinci exhibition so the Louvre can sure do them a little favour. Every museum & institution can always use more money for their projects.
