Isabelle de Borchgrave meets Mariano Fortuny

More than eighty dresses, unique for being made of paper, as well as accessories and trompe-d’oeil, are on display in Venice at the charming residence-atelier of Mariano Fortuny, demonstrating the skill and talend of the Belgian artist, famous since 1998 for his travelling exhibition Papier à la mode.

The Show, a tribute to the spirit of the place and to the common taste of the two artists, offers on the museum’s ground floor a sort of permanent workshop where a visitor can physically touch the materials used to create the works in their different stages of creation.
