"Fashion and Sport" at the Olympic Museum

From 5 December 2024 to 27 April 2025, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne will be hosting the Musée des Arts Décoratifs Paris and an exhibition entitled "Fashion and Sport – From One Podium to Another".

Curated by Sophie Lemahieu of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs Paris, this exhibition will feature over 250 items of clothing and accessories, offering a fascinating journey through the evolution of sportswear from the 1800s to today. It pays homage to the trailblazing fashion designers of the interwar years and examines the ever-growing influence of sport on contemporary fashion. Visitors will also discover the groundbreaking collaborations between luxury fashion houses and sporting brands, as well as the pivotal role many athletes now play as ambassadors for these prestigious labels.

Originally conceived for and showcased at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs Paris from September 2023 to April 2024, this exhibition was a highlight of the Paris 2024 Cultural Olympiad. The Lausanne edition, co-organised by the Musée des Arts Décoratifs Paris and the Olympic Museum, promises to be an equally significant cultural event.

“We are delighted to be hosting this exhibition featuring innovative sportswear designs that bridge the worlds of fashion and sports. We are proud to bring a world-class exhibition from Paris to Lausanne and in doing so to perpetuate the spirit of the Games." said Angelita Teo, Director of the Olympic Museum
