<td style="text-align: justify;" width="49%"><span style="color: #000000;">C&rsquo;est le 8 mars ! C&rsquo;est à dire le jour où ceux qui ont des produits nazes à refourguer font des offres commerciales (« 1 rose offerte à toutes nos clientes », « 2e petite culotte à moitié prix pour votre fête ! »). En vrai, c&rsquo;est surtout la <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>jo</strong><strong>urnée internationale de lutte pour les droits des femmes</strong></span> (c&rsquo;est quand même autrement plus utile que la « fête des femmes » non ?). Alors j&rsquo;ai voulu mettre une femme d&rsquo;exception à l&rsquo;honneur. </span></p>
<p>Il y a longtemps, quand je n&rsquo;avais qu&rsquo;une connaissance moyenne de l&rsquo;histoire, je croyais que les femmes d&rsquo;avant la 2e guerre mondiale étaient surtout des femmes au foyer. Maintenant que j&rsquo;étudie cela de manière plus conséquente je sais que le sexisme ordinaire dont nous sommes (presque) tous confits est une construction bourgeoise finalement très récente (nos ancêtres de la fin du 18e siècle étaient plus ouverts d&rsquo;esprit que nous par exemple !). Et de tout temps il y a eu des femmes extraordinaires, qui n&rsquo;ont pas hésité à se lever face aux normes sociales injustes pour réclamer le droit de ne pas être une potiche de salon et être traitées en égal à l&rsquo;homme. J&rsquo;ai eu beaucoup de mal à choisir laquelle j&rsquo;allais traiter aujourd&rsquo;hui tant il y a des femmes dont on aimerait parler. Mais comme il n&rsquo;en fallait qu&rsquo;une j&rsquo;ai finalement opté (un peu au hasard car je n&rsquo;ai pas su choisir) pour <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Amelia Bloomer</strong></span>, une dame qu&rsquo;on connait surtout pour la pièce de vêtement qui a pris son nom, « le bloomer », une culotte bouffante.</td>
<td><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></td>
<td style="text-align: justify;" width="49%"><span style="color: #993366;">It&rsquo;s march the 8th ! The perfect moment for those who sell items that suck to make commercial offers in France (« 1 free rose for all our lady customers ! », « the 2d panty is half its price for this special day » !). But in fact, for real, it&rsquo;s the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>international women&rsquo;s day to struggle for their rights</strong></span> (which is quite more useful than a « women day »). That&rsquo;s why I wanted to talk about an amazing lady on this blog. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #993366;">A long time ago, when I didn&rsquo;t know much history, I thought that ladies before the WWII were housewives. Now that I study history for real, I know that ordinary sexism we show everyday is a modern bourgeois social construction (late georgian people were much more open minded than we are !).  There has been a lot of great ladies, who stood against unfair social norms to claim for the right to be something else than a useless linving room item, and to have equal rights to men. </span><span style="color: #993366;">It was hard to choose just one, but I picked (quite <span style="color: #993366;">randomly)</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Amelia Bloomer</strong></span>, a lady who is know today for a piece of garment she wore, « the bloomer ».</span></td>

<td style="text-align: justify;" width="49%"><span style="color: #000000;">Amelia était rédactrice en chef du journal « The Lily », et une adepte de la tempérance à l&rsquo;origine (c&rsquo;est à dire qu&rsquo;elle militait contre l&rsquo;alcool, responsable de drames sociaux selon elle). Mais ses colonnes sont rapidement devenues le foyer d&rsquo;idées égalitaires sur la place des femmes. Elle portait aussi des pantalons larges, et estimait que les femmes devaient pouvoir s&rsquo;habiller comme elles le souhaitaient, c&rsquo;est à dire sans corset et sans robes immenses peu pratiques pour « faire des choses ».</span></p>

<td style="text-align: justify;" width="49%"><span style="color: #993366;">Amelia was the chief editor for « the Lily », and was a member of the Temperance League (which means that she was against alcohol, considered for being responsible for social dramas). But her columns quickly became a place full of egalitarian ideas about the women&rsquo;s place in the society. She wore large trousers, and thought that women should dress like they want, without corsets or huge  dresses that were not practical to « do things ».</span></p>

<td style="text-align: justify;" width="49%"><span style="color: #000000;">Aujourd&rsquo;hui je vais vous faire une critique de l&rsquo;exposition <strong><a href="http://www.lesartsdecoratifs.fr/francais/musees/musee-des-arts-decoratifs/actualites/expositions-en-cours/mode-et-textile/fashion-forward-3-siecles-de-mode-1715-2016/">« Fashion Forward » au Musée des Arts Décoratifs</a></strong>. Petite précision avant que vous estimiez que je m&rsquo;acharne gratuitement contre cette exposition : je l&rsquo;ai aimée, et si vous n&rsquo;avez pas pu aller la voir avant ce dimanche (14 août) alors c&rsquo;est un grand dommage pour vous car elle était réellement à voir. Cependant, quelques points m&rsquo;ont réellement chagriné car comme beaucoup d&rsquo;entre vous le savent j&rsquo;aime vraiment ce musée qui est pour moi une référence mondiale, et des erreurs commises (ou facilités ?) sur cette exposition sont assez difficilement excusables sur un musée de l&rsquo;envergure des Arts Décoratifs. Je les aurais acceptées sur un petit musée n&rsquo;ayant pas les moyens de faire venir un historien du costume, là j&rsquo;ai eu beau retourner les données dans ma tête depuis mon retour de l&rsquo;exposition, rien n&rsquo;y fait : montrer des choses erronées aux visiteurs, ça me pose problème. Mais j&rsquo;y reviendrai plus tard. En attendant, vous trouverez dans cet article un rapide descriptif de l&rsquo;expo, ce que j&rsquo;ai aimé, mes bémols et enfin mes cartons rouges.</span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="color: #000000;">[Et pour voir toutes mes photos, c&rsquo;est <a style="color: #000000;" href="https://www.facebook.com/Temps-d%C3%A9l%C3%A9gance-105025412873545/photos/?tab=album&amp;album_id=1193642147345194">ICI que ça se passe !</a>]</span></em></strong></td>

<td width="49%">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #470f3d;">I&rsquo;ll write an exhibition review for <strong><a style="color: #470f3d;" href="http://www.lesartsdecoratifs.fr/francais/musees/musee-des-arts-decoratifs/actualites/expositions-en-cours/mode-et-textile/fashion-forward-3-siecles-de-mode-1715-2016/">« Fashion Forward » in Paris Arts Décoratifs museum</a></strong> today. Just a clarification before thinking I desesperatly pick on this exhibition : I liked it, and if you did not manage to go and see it before it ends this sunday (au</span><span style="color: #470f3d;">gust, the 14th) then it&rsquo;s too bad for you because it really worthed seeing it. However, some aspects saddened me for real. I really like this museum, which is a world reference, but some mistakes (or eases ?) made on this exhibition seem hardly forgivable for a museum of this scale. I would have closed my eyes for a small museum that cannot afford a costume historian, but not here : showing false informations is a problem for me. But I&rsquo;ll talk about it later.  This article will first tell you more about the exhibit itself, what I liked, my dampers and my red cards.</span></p>

<h3><span style="color: #000000;"> <em><strong>De quoi ça parle ?</strong></em></span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">« Fashion Forward » c&rsquo;est 300 silhouettes choisies parmi les 150 000 pièces de la collection des Arts Décoratifs (AD) et de l&rsquo;Union Française des Arts du Costume (UFAC) pour représenter la mode parisienne de 1715 à 2016. Contrairement à ce que son titre pourrait laisser penser, il s&rsquo;agit donc bien de mettre à l&rsquo;honneur la création hexagonale à travers les derniers siècles.</span></p>

<h3><span style="color: #470f3d;"><em>What is it talking about ?</em></span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #470f3d;">« Fashion Forward » it&rsquo;s 300 silhouettes chosen between the 150 000 items collected by the Arts Decoratifs (AD) and the Union Française des Arts du Costume (UFAC) to show the parisian fashion from 1715 to 2016. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s all about french fashion through centuries (despite an english title).</span></p>

<h3><em><span style="color: #000000;">Ce qu</span><span style="color: #000000;">e j&rsquo;ai aimé</span></em></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">&#8211; Des <strong>pièces très bien choisies</strong> et plutôt représentatives de leurs périodes. De plus toutes les époques m&rsquo;ont semblé correctement représentées (que ça intéresse ou pas est pour moi hors sujet),<br />
&#8211; Un <strong>« effet waouh »</strong> en arrivant dans quasiment chaque salle : difficile de ne pas être époustouflé par la mise en scène de l&rsquo;exposition qui évolue en même temps que les costumes présentés,<br />
&#8211; La présence de costumes <strong>d&rsquo;hommes</strong> et <strong>d&rsquo;enfants</strong>, trop souvent oubliés pendant les expositions de costumes,<br />
&#8211; La présence <strong>d&rsquo;objets et de décorations</strong> en relation avec les époques présentées, qui permettent de remettre les costumes dans un contexte précis,<br />
&#8211; L&rsquo;exposition de petits accessoires de mode dans des <strong>vitrines</strong> en face des vêtements,<br />
&#8211; La présentation d&rsquo;autres moyens de diffusion des modes telles que les <strong>poupées, marionnettes</strong>, etc.,<br />
&#8211; L&rsquo;exposition de <strong>costumes rares</strong> tels que le banyan et la robe volante de la première pièce,<br />
&#8211; Un <strong>prix d&rsquo;entrée correcte</strong> (11€ pour l&rsquo;expo seule),<br />
&#8211; La possibilité de <strong>prendre des photographies</strong> sans flash (un grand merci pour ce point qui me semble essentiel à l&rsquo;ère du numérique !).</span></p>

<h3><span style="color: #470f3d;"><em>What I liked</em></span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #470f3d;"> &#8211; Very <strong>well chosen items</strong>, quite representative of their periods. And all this periods where correctly displayed,</span><br />
<span style="color: #470f3d;">&#8211; A « <strong>wahoo effect</strong> » everytime you discover a new room : it&rsquo;s difficult not being impressed by the museum staging, which evolves with the periods,</span><br />
<span style="color: #470f3d;">&#8211; <strong>Men and children costumes</strong>, so often forgotten during fashion exhibitions,</span><br />
<span style="color: #470f3d;">&#8211; Antique items and decorations displayed with the costumes, and I think it&rsquo;s important to put the clothes back in their periods,</span><br />
<span style="color: #470f3d;">&#8211; <strong>Fashion accessories displayed</strong> in front of the costumes in nice showcases,</span><br />
<span style="color: #470f3d;">&#8211; Other ways to expand french fashion were showed, as <strong>dolls, puppets</strong>,&#8230;</span><br />
<span style="color: #470f3d;">&#8211; Some <strong>rare costumes where displayed</strong>, as the Banyan and the « robe volante » from the very first room,</span><br />
<span style="color: #470f3d;">&#8211; <strong>Correct admission fees</strong> (11€ for the exhibit),</span><br />
<span style="color: #470f3d;">&#8211; Allow people to take <strong>photos</strong> without a flash is a very very good thing ! (a big thank you for doing that !)</span></p>

<h3><span style="color: #000000;">Mes bémols </span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">Pour résumer je suis ressortie de mes visiteS (au pluriel car j&rsquo;y suis retournée plusieurs fois avant d&rsquo;écrire cet article) avec l&rsquo;impression désagréable que la scénographie primait bien plus que le contenu pédagogique dans la plupart des pièces, au point que la rigueur scientifique était parfois mise entre parenthèses parce que c&rsquo;était plus joli comme ça.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">&#8211; Beaucoup de <strong>pièces présentées en hauteur</strong> (notez que mes 1m80 ont apprécié, mais toutes les femmes aux tailles plus classiques ont raté pas mal de choses).<br />
&#8211; Des <strong>cartels parfois difficiles à lire sans déclencher l&rsquo;alarme</strong> car ils sont situés après le rayon détecteur de cette dernière. On se penche pour lire et ça sonne.<br />
&#8211; Parfois des idées jolies sur le papier sont désastreuses : <strong>présenter une partie de l&rsquo;exposition derrière des toiles</strong> fait partie de ces idées. C&rsquo;est très désagréable à regarder et ça prive le visiteur de pas mal de « détails » (tels que la couleur des tissus, détail qui me semble important personnellement).<br />
&#8211; Quand on présente une évolution du vêtement il serait de bon ton <strong>d&rsquo;éviter de se prendre les pieds dans le tapis</strong>, même si le tapis est plus joli montré comme ça. Mélangeons gaiement les costumes révolutionnaires avec les robes 1er empire ! Et les robes vers 1815 avec les habits vers 1800 ! C&rsquo;est grosso-modo la même chose. Mais pour une exposition faite dans un musée j&rsquo;attends un peu plus que du grosso modo&#8230;<br />
&#8211; Les <strong>vidéos projetées</strong> dans les salles du 18e et 19e siècle, montrant des danseurs habillés de costumes de scènes / déguisements. Aucun linge de corps sous les corsets, aucune forme historiquement correcte, donc pas grand rapport avec les costumes anciens présentés en fait. J&rsquo;ai failli mettre ce point dans le paragraphe de mes « cartons rouges » mais après y être allée avec un groupe de lycéennes Cambodgiennes qui découvraient la culture occidentale (et n&rsquo;avaient jamais entendu parler de « corset » de leur vie) j&rsquo;ai pu me rendre compte que ces vidéos étaient mieux que rien. Dommage qu&rsquo;on ne leur montre pas  de « vrais vêtements ».<br />

<h3><span style="color: #470f3d;">My dampers</span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #470f3d;">After my visitS (I went there more than once before writting this article) I had this horrible feeling that the stage design was more important than the pedagogical content in most of the rooms, even that scientific rigor was silenced because it was nicer this way.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #470f3d;">&#8211; A lot of <strong>items were displayed very high</strong> (notice that I liked it as I am very tall, but all the women who went there with me were frustrated because they didn&rsquo;t see the whole things to see).<br />
&#8211; Some of the <strong>notes were difficult to read without trigerring the alarm buzzer</strong> because they are put beyond the alarm. You lean to read and it rings.<br />
&#8211; Good ideas on paper should stay on paper when they are horrible once made for real : <strong>displaying a part of the exhibit behind clothes</strong> was one of these ideas. It&rsquo;s really unpleasant to look at and several details cannot be seen anymore (as the fabric&rsquo;s colors, a « not such a détail » for me).<br />
&#8211; Showing the clothes evolution is a good idea, but <strong>tripping over the carpet is a messy thing</strong>, even if the carpet is nicer this way&#8230; Let&rsquo;s mix revolution clothes with napoleonic dresses ! And 1815 dresses with 1800 costumes ! It&rsquo;s broadly the same. But the Arts Decoratif is a museum, I was waiting for something more rigorous&#8230;<br />
&#8211; Some <strong>short films</strong> were projected in the 18th and 19th rooms, showing dancers in fancy costumes. No shirts under corsets, nothing historically accurate in the clothes I nearly put that point in the following part of the article (the « red cards ») but after going there with cambodian students who discovered western culture for the first time (they had never heard of « corsets » for example) I noticed these videos were better than no video at all for them. Too bad it&rsquo;s not historical costumes.<br />

<h3><span style="color: #000000;"> Mes cartons rouges (et ce n&rsquo;est pas de gaieté de cœur)</span></h3>
<p><em>(voir les photos qui suivent pour mieux visualiser mes propos)</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">Certains <strong>mannequinages sont AFFREUX</strong>. Là où ça m&rsquo;a choqué c&rsquo;est que 95% des mannequinages sont parfaits, et même plus réussis que ce qu&rsquo;on voit habituellement (c&rsquo;est toujours compliqué de mannequiner du costume historique car les volumes sont très différents des volumes modernes du corps, et nous avons ici de nombreuses silhouettes faites avec un grand soin). Des bustes ont été créés pour avoir la présentation parfaite. Et pourtant, c&rsquo;est émaillé de catastrophes que je n&rsquo;arrive pas à m&rsquo;expliquer. J&rsquo;ai visité en fin d&rsquo;expo : ça en faisait des soirées et des nuits pour corriger ces grosses erreurs&#8230; Laisser passer ça ce n&rsquo;est pas très sérieux pour un musée.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">Et puis c&rsquo;est <strong>truffé d&rsquo;erreurs</strong>. La question que je me pose est la suivante : est-ce délibéré ou pas ? Je m&rsquo;explique : ce ne sont pas des erreurs d&rsquo;inattention ou que seul un spécialiste peut voir, non, ce sont des erreurs subtiles qui permettent d&rsquo;en mettre plein les yeux aux visiteurs en mettant en valeur la bizarrerie de nos ancêtres. J&rsquo;avais déjà reproché à l&rsquo;exposition « la mécanique des dessous » de faire passer des exceptions pour des règles générales par un savant flou artistique, mais je trouve que cette dernière exposition fait un pas de trop dans le « on s&rsquo;en fiche des faits scientifiques, c&rsquo;est plus cool comme ça ! ». Je sais bien que les personnes en charge de l&rsquo;exposition ne sont pas toutes des historiens du costume, mais il y en a bien au moins un dans l&rsquo;équipe, non ? Si c&rsquo;était pour ne pas l&rsquo;écouter alors pourquoi faire une exposition de costumes historiques ?</span></p>

<h3><span style="color: #470f3d;">My red cards (but I am not cheerful by doing this)</span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="color: #470f3d;">(See the photos below for examples of what I am saying)</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #470f3d;">Some <strong>clothes have no shapes</strong>, as they seem to have been dropped off the mannequins. I was shocked as more than 95% of the mannequins are perfect, maybe better than ever (it&rsquo;s difficult to dress mannequins with antique clothes as the body shapes are not the same at all than today&rsquo;s shapes). Some busts have been created to get the perfect shape. But some disasters can be seen, and I cannot explain that point. I visited the exhibition lately : they had evenings and nights to correct the mistakes&#8230; I don&rsquo;t understand how the Art Décoratifs could let it be this way, that&rsquo;s not very serious for a museum.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #470f3d;">And it&rsquo;s <strong>stuffed with errors</strong>. I wonder if they are mistakes or deliberate ? I explain : it is not about errors of inattention or errors that only a specialist can see, no, they are subtle errors which allow to amaze the visitors by emphasizing the oddity of our ancestors. I already blamed their exhibition « La mécanique des dessous » to make as if some exceptions were main rules by a soft focus in explanations, but I find that this last exhibition goes to far in the « we don&rsquo;t care scientific facts, it&rsquo;s cooler like that! ». I know that the people in charge of the exhibition are not all fashion historians, but there is at least one in the team, isn&rsquo;t it? If he/she was going to be silenced then why making an exhibition of historical costumes?</span></p>

Alors oui, toutes les personnes qui sont passées devant se sont extasiées devant « la taille incroyablement fine »et c&rsquo;est vrai que les corsets sabliers de cette époque affinent beaucoup la taille, mais j&rsquo;aurais préféré un corset à mesures plus humaines où le doute ne serait pas permis quand au fait qu&rsquo;il était mettable&#8230;     ||</span>    <em><span style="color: #470f3d;">Left : The « little girl&rsquo;s dress » which will never fit to a child as it&rsquo;s a doll or a mannequin or a statue dress.

And what about this corset which doesn&rsquo;t seem very « human » for me ? I cannot be 100% sure as I didn&rsquo;t have it in my hands but it&rsquo;s new and looks like a window corset.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">« Pour vous permettre de comparer les prix, une paire de souliers élégants place Vendôme, coûtait dans les soixante francs. Une robe du soir, très élaborée de chez Worth : entre cent cinquante et cent quatre-vingt francs. Les choses de grand luxe coûtaient en somme un mois de salaire de nos domestiques*. [&#8230;]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Les bonnes soubrettes savaient également coudre, raccommoder lingeries et dentelles, et aussi confectionner des robes. Ma mère, en effet, n&rsquo;allait pas souvent chez les grands couturiers en vogue, qui coûtaient affreusement cher; c&rsquo;est pourquoi il fallait une femme de chambre capable de copier, en les modifiant un peu, les modèles de chez Worth. »</span></div>
