The Daho style enters the museum.
Etienne Daho is donating 34 stage and city outfits to the Fashion Museum of the City of Paris, the Palais Galliera announced on Monday.
“Stage outfits are traveling companions and armor that we slip into to become the Other.
They are charged with all energies and emotions, ”writes the singer, quoted in a press release from the Palais Galliera.
Dating from 1983 to 2019, Etienne Daho's pop-rock style outfits are designed by Dior, Céline or Saint Laurent and “mark out his career to pass them on to future generations,” explains the museum.

The singer has dated and documented each of them, ranging from the Saint James striped sweater worn in 1984 on the cover of his album
La Notte, La Notte

Out of 34 outfits, six are tuxedo jackets made between 2014 and 2019 by Heidi Slimane, the most present designer of this collection, then at the head of Saint Laurent before moving to Celine.
Referring to the wardrobe of rockers of the 1960s and 1970s, they reflect the artist's taste for vintage.
