If you are in Paris between now and April 5, drop everything you are doing and go to the Snoopy Style- The Story of Peanuts in Fashion pop-up exhibit.
I may be biased, as I am a huge Snoopy fan (my apartment is filled with Snoopy items including vintage figures, tons of T-shirts, a mug, a bowl, and finally, a Baccarat crystal Snoopy) but this a delightful and informative show about the impact the Peanuts gang has made on fashion and popular culture since Charles Schulz invented them in 1950.
The first floor of the exhibition tracks Charles Schulz’s personal appreciation of fashion with photos and clothing Schulz wore. Schulz frequently traveled to Europe and in the 1970s was inspired by Parisian and European style.
The highlight of the show on the lower level is the collection of Snoopy and Belle dolls dressed by over 50 top designers such as Donna Karan, Versace, Dries Van Noten, Bob Mackie, Emmanuel Ungaro, Bill Blass, Christian Siriano, Oscar de la Renta, and Anna Sui. Designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac was an early adopter of the Peanuts gang, putting their images in his clothes and accessories in the 1970s and 80s. Another room on the lower level has T-shirts, sweatshirts, posters (Snoopy for president!), and books, again illustrating the cultural impact of the cartoon characters made.
Best of all is the Peanuts shop on the main floor with so many cool things, I had to leave quickly, otherwise I would have bought out the store. The cherry on the Snoopy cake is the fabulous silver mylar tote bag you get when you make a purchase.
