Madame Paul-Annick Weiller's contribution comprises three garments also designed by Givenchy, and a negligee that belonged to her grandmother, Queen Victoria Eugenia. Each piece exemplifies the exquisite design and meticulous craftsmanship characteristic of Givenchy's refined creations. The gowns trace evolving fashion trends from the 1960s through the 1990s, yet all consistently embody the timeless glamour that defines the designer's work. Monsieur de Givenchy has expressed his long-standing admiration for the Museum of Costume and its mission, wishing for his creations to be part of its collections. Following an initial donation in October 2005, this subsequent contribution, along with his efforts to encourage donations from clients like Madame Weiller, underscores his commitment.
The exhibition is open during the Museum's regular hours: Tuesday to Saturday, from 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM, and Sundays and holidays from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM (closed Mondays).
