MARCHE ET DÉMARCHE,
UNE HISTOIRE DE LA CHAUSSURE
AT MUSÉE DES ARTS DÉCORATIFS DE PARIS
7th November 2019 - 23rd February 2020
We are thrilled to share that Sukumo × Bluestone sneakers are part of the new exhibition ‘Marche et Démarche, une histoire de la chaussure’ at Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris.
Following the success of La Mécanique des dessous (2013) and Tenue correcte exigée! (2017), the Musée des Arts Décoratifs continues its exploration into the relationship between fashion and body with a third, and equally inspiring instalment, Marche et démarche, which looks at the form of the shoe. Curated by Dennis Bruna, with exhibition design by the architect and designer Eric Benqué, Marche et démarche will be on view from 7th November 2019 - 23rd February 2020. The exhibition questions the cultural significance of the shoe, an essential accessory in our daily lives, and explores how the shoe was incorporated into different styles of walking from the Middle Ages to the present day, in both Western and non-European cultures. Marche et démarche will display approximately five-hundred objects, including shoes, paintings, objets d’art, photographs, films and advertisements from public and private collections, offering a unique perspective on how a quotidian object can translate from the ordinary to the extraordinary.
