Model clothing by deTOUJOURS

Mucem summer concept-store

Linking to the exhibition “Model Clothing”, deTOUJOURS takes over the Mucem's summer boutique at the fort Saint-Jean with a selection of original clothing for sale. Coming from the worlds of work, sports, and regional traditions, they are always designed with reference to their first manufacturers, yet constantly reinterpreted by fashion.

Through this selection of clothing taken from all walks of life and various functions, a special tribute will be paid to the history of Marseille through two specific themes: Provencal and seafarer.

The selection is topped off with collaborations with local designers (ceramics with FRANCA, DJ Rebel's exclusive collection of vintage vinyls, ...); a line of products inspired by the exhibition and the Mucem; and lastly, durable, vintage summer products (sunglasses and vintage summer dresses, Levi's 501, ...).

The boutique MODEL CLOTHING will also host various meetings and events: presentations of products by their traditional manufacturers, a listen of vinyl records with DJ Rebel, pottery workshop with the creators of FRANCA, etc.

At the source of style: deTOUJOURS

Founded by Isabelle Crampes in 2014 in Marseille, deTOUJOURS is an online boutique, which offers original items from the history of fashion.
