Moiré Gallery: Where Fashion, Art, and Design Converge in Milan
In 2022, Ouafa Tahoun founded Moiré Gallery in an 18th-century palazzo between Brera and Montenapoleone at Via Borgonuovo 5, Milan. With a background in luxury retail, Tahoun blends her passions for fashion, art, and design into a single space. The gallery offers haute couture, design objects, and artworks—from painting to installation—featuring brands like Hermès, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, and Poltrona Frau, alongside artists such as Hagit Pincovici, Pietro Fornasetti, and Tommaso Barbi. The name "Moiré" references a fabric texture, an iridescent effect in antique silks, and an optical interference pattern, tying together the three fields. The space hosts rotating exhibitions, vernissages, and artist meetings by appointment only.
