For this Pride Month episode, I invite you on a journey through queer wardrobes. From the underground to the runway, we explore how the LGBTQIA+ community has expressed itself through clothing.

You will discover:

• The history and origins of queer culture
• When did the first gender transgressions take place?
• How clothing has served as secret codes, means of recognition, and identity affirmation
• The influence of voguing balls, drag culture, and queer icons on fashion trends
• The stylistic hijackings that become true power grabs
• Queerwashing and rainbow capitalism
• How current fashion draws on this heritage to propose new gender narratives

An episode where we talk about history, struggles, freedom... and style, of course.

• This episode is available on all streaming platforms.
• Cet épisode est également disponible en français.

What if a visit to the museum became the starting point for a creative journey?

In this episode of My Fashion Stories Box Podcast, I take you to the heart of the Louvre Couture exhibition, on display at the Louvre Museum until July 21, 2025. An exhibition that reveals the intimate dialogues between ancient art objects and contemporary creations from the greatest fashion houses.

Throughout this audio tour:

• I guide you through the galleries of the past, like a blind visit to a museum populated by ghostly silhouettes.
• I decipher three contemporary creations inspired by the decorative arts from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
• I explore how designers translate visual heritage into the language of fashion.
• And I ask: why does fashion always return to history?

A journey through art, textiles, and memory, to be listened to like a sensory stroll through the corridors of the Louvre.

Additional resources:

• Louvre Couture. Objets d'art, objets de mode (exhibition catalog)
• Défilé au Louvre, by Sophie Fontanel
• Beaux-Arts magazine Special Edition and the educational file of the exhibition (downloadable online)
