Mannequin—Le corps de la mode (”Model: The Body of Fashion” until May 19 at Paris Musée Galliera) examines the women’s aesthetic aspirations since the first models replaced store mannequins in late-nineteenth-century Paris.
The exhibition  features the work of famous photographers including Helmut Newton, Steven Meisel, Peter Lindbergh, Corinne Day, and Guy Bourdin. The show includes 120 photographs, fashion videos, magazine clippings, store-window mannequins and  examines models’ progression from anonymity to stardom since the birth of haute couture. In the early 20th century, Paris couture houses’ it girls were none other than socialites, singers, and actresses—including Nelly Martyl, a Parisian opera singer in the 1910s—featured in a series of black-and-white photos published in Les Modes and other old fashion publications.
