Paris’ Musée des Art Décoratifs announced Wednesday that it will host a “grand ball” to celebrate French fashion and art de vivre, and raise funds for the institution. The ball will be held on July 6, 2025, and mark the centenary of the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts which took place in Paris from April to October 1925.

Unlike the Met Gala in New York, tickets will be sold to individuals or families, and not brands. The evening will be divided into two parts: a smaller, exclusive fete, followed by a larger event that will be open to design and fashion students.
