Métamorphoses, les chapeaux de Maison Michel hat exhibition, celebrates the Parisian milliner’s craftsmanship through the techniques, materials, and archival forms behind its creations. Presented at La Galerie du 19M, the exhibition explores Maison Michel’s work with felt, straw, satin ribbons, veils, and traditional wooden hat blocks, while highlighting its role within Chanel’s Métiers d’art ecosystem.
The exhibition brings together runway pieces, archival references, collaborations, and examples of the specialist savoir-faire used to shape each hat. Visitors can also discover Maison Michel’s historic collection of more than 3,000 wooden forms, alongside workshops, guided tours, and talks scheduled throughout the exhibition.
