Metamorphoses: Hats by Maison Michel
A hat begins well before it reaches the head. At la Galerie du 19M, Metamorphoses: Hats by Maison Michel follows the materials and workshop gestures behind the Parisian house’s headwear, moving from the origins of a material to the form it takes when worn.
Founded in 1936, Maison Michel brings its archives into conversation with new works and collaborations with young designers. The wider program gives visitors opportunities to work with straw and felt, including a collaborative weaving workshop by Emma Bruschi. Michel Gondry’s Home Movie Factory also invites participants to make a short film within a setting inspired by an early twentieth-century hat shop.
