Besides the vast showcase of 175 outfits along with scores of fashion photographs, sketches, backstage videos and clips, animated faces are projected onto mannequin heads that blink, glance at visitors and speak every so often. What also makes the Paris exhibition special is the added personal twist to the retrospective — laying out family snapshots and even his beloved teddy bear. Don’t miss the exhibition at Grand Palais in Paris, which runs through August 3rd!
