THIERRY-MAXIME LORIOT
After working more than ten years in the fashion industry between New York, Milan, London, and Paris, with leading photographers, brands, and magazines, he curated the various renditions of the globally successful touring exhibition The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk. The retrospective travelled to twelve cities and drew more than 2.1 million visitors, breaking records for any fashion exhibition still to this day.
Opened in Montreal in 2011, the exhibition travelled to Dallas (Dallas Museum of Art), San Francisco (Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco), Madrid (Fundación MAPFRE), Rotterdam (Kunsthal), Stockholm (Swedish Centre for Architecture and Design), Brooklyn (Brooklyn Museum), London (Barbican Centre), Melbourne (National Gallery), Paris (Grand Palais), Munich (Kunsthalle), and Seoul (DDP), where the exhibition tour came to a close in 2016 after five years on the road. A total of six publications on Jean Paul Gaultier have been written by Loriot over the course of this record tour, being awarded, among other prizes, the Grand Prix du Livre de Mode in Paris.
The groundbreaking Jean Paul Gaultier world tour was followed by his exhibition Love is Love: Wedding Bliss for All à la Jean Paul Gaultier, presented at the MMFA in 2016, at the Centro Cultural Kirchner in Buenos Aires, and at the Contemporary Museum of Belgrade in 2020-21. He also curated and wrote the books of the travelling exhibitions Peter Lindbergh: A Different Vision on Fashion Photography, presented in Italy, The Netherlands, and Germany, and two editions of Viktor & Rolf: Fashion Artists, first presented at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, followed by its presentation in the summer of 2018 at the Kunsthal Rotterdam.
He also curated the touring exhibition and books on French creator Thierry Mugler, Thierry Mugler Couturissime, a world premiere at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts that opened in 2019 and presented after at Kunsthal Rotterdam, Kunsthalle Munich, and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 2021-22, and the Brooklyn Museum in 2022-2023. Loriot was awarded many accolades for his books and exhibitions; in 2019, he received the Vanguard Award from CAFA (Canadian Arts and Fashion Award) for the important contributions he made to the Arts and Fashion industries.
In 2022, he created for the France Pavilion at the Universal Exhibition in Dubai a new exhibition Jean Paul Gaultier From A to Z, which was seen by more than 720,000 visitors. He also worked on the creative direction of tours, tour books, and album covers for many pop stars. In the spring of 2024, he launched a 30-year retrospective on Viktor&Rolf, Fashion Statements, which premiered in Munich, Germany, and will be touring to the USA and France. He also launched the exhibition Portraits & Fashion Beyond Borders at the McCord Museum, which featured 17 Canadian photographers working abroad. His exhibitions have been visited by almost 7 million visitors.
