What connects Vivienne Westwood to 18th-century France, Guo Pei to an ancient Egyptian funeral mask, Balenciaga with an Assyrian low-relief or Alexander McQueen and Givenchy to Japanese prints?

Art & Fashion invites visitors to enter a realm where art breathes fashion and fashion awakens art. In a sensory experience, the works of art of the Gulbenkian Collection dialogue with the creativity of the greatest haute couture couturiers and contemporary designers, revealing how forms, symbols, and emotions travel through time.

The exhibition stems from Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian’s (1869–1955) deep interest in the arts and fashion and explores how the Gulbenkians kept up with the trends of their time.
