The exhibition entitled "Tenue correcte exigée, quand le vêtement fait scandale" invites spectators to recall scandals that have accompanied major turning-points in the history of fashion from the 14th century to the present day. Through over 400 items of clothing and accessories, portraits, caricatures and objects, the visitor explores liberty-taking and departures from clothing norms. Women's trousers, skirts for men, plunging necklines, tuxedos worn by women, the mini-skirt, jeans with holes, baggy clothing... They have all made clean breaks with accepted standards. Unitl April 23rd. Musée des Arts Décoratifs, 107 rue de Rivoli, Paris 1 (01 44 55 57 50).
