Cosima von Bonin textile sculptures exhibited at Petit Palais in Paris
Textile sculptures by artist Cosima von Bonin, originally featured in Loewe’s Fall-Winter 2026 runway show, are on display at the Petit Palais during Art Basel Paris.
The Dollys & Beaux exhibition has brought oversized textile sculptures by German artist Cosima von Bonin into the historic setting of the Petit Palais. Organized by the Gaga, Neu, and Petzel galleries, the installation is currently part of the public program for Art Basel Paris.
The featured works, which include a leather octopus and a velvet Saint Bernard, were originally commissioned for Loewe’s Fall-Winter 2026 runway presentation. The sculptures influenced several items within that fashion collection, most notably a redesigned version of the Amazona 180 handbag.
Displayed alongside the museum’s permanent collection, the textile figures are accessorized with silk scarves and tartan patterns. The presentation serves as a bridge between contemporary art and luxury fashion, highlighting the ongoing integration of creative collaborations into the LVMH brand's public-facing artistic initiatives.
