Information on the exhibition


At first glance, fashion and sport seem to belong to opposite worlds: elegance and performance. However, over the last century, these two worlds have influenced each other. Athletes now sport outfits worthy of the catwalks of Fashion Week, while technical fabrics have become commonplace in street fashion.


The exhibition highlights this convergence through a redesigned scenography for the Olympic Museum, with a large catwalk for the contemporary section. Visitors will be able to discover a rich collection of clothing, works of art, photographs, posters and sculptures, illustrating the evolution of sportswear and its impact on fashion.


The themes covered include:


  • Sports Before Sports
  • Saddle up! En garde!
  • Before "Sport" rhymed with "comfort"
  • Early Sportswear
  • Dive In! From Bathing to Swimming
  • The Beginnings of Sportswear
  • Sliding and Skating, from the Ice to the Sidewalk
  • Sportswear is the New Black
  • Colours and Logos
  • Ready, Set... Fashion!
  • Style in the stands
