Depending on the museum’s current program, the Fashion department features creations by Madeleine Vionnet, Pierre Balmain, Christian Dior, Yves Saint-Laurent, Elisabeth de Senneville, and others, as well as contemporary designers. The displays are regularly updated.

Works by contemporary designers created especially for the museum are incorporated into the visitor route, including the chandelier in the main vestibule by designer Mathieu Lehanneur, mirrors by Hubert Legall and tapestries by Laurence Aegerter.
