2 DESIGN PARADE 10 10TH INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF DESIGN JULY 3, 4 & 5, 2015 EXHIBITIONS UNTIL SEPTEMBER 27 THE VILLA NOAILLES Constructed between 1924 and 1932, the villa Noailles is both a fine example of Robert Mallet-Stevens architecture, as well as a ground breaking building spanning over 1800m 2 and consisting of a blend of sports equipments and art works. Commissioned by Charles and Marie-Laure de Noailles, it received the avant-garde of the 20th Century, resulting in an artistic hothouse that was to last up until the 1960s. The villa Noailles became an art centre in Through a variety of temporary exhibitions it both displays and offers its support to contemporary works from the fields of fashion, photography, design, and architecture. The centre organises two festivals: the International Festival of Fashion and Photography, launched in 1986 and Design Parade, launched in A permanent exhibition, dedicated to Charles and Marie-Laure de Noailles completes the program, bringing their exceptional patronage of the arts back into the spotlight. DESIGN PARADE The festival revolves around an international competition open to young designers, which combines exhi- bitions and discussions. Through this innovative platform, the villa Noailles aims to further its support for young design, whilst at the same time gathering together designers, members of the industry, journalists, and the general public.
