Magdalene Odundo
Grammar of Forms
27 January—1 February 2026
Musée Rodin, Paris, France
Grammaire des Formes presents an encounter between the world of internationally renowned Kenyan ceramicist Magdalene Odundo and Jonathan Anderson's first haute couture collection set in dialogue with Christian Dior's emblematic creations.
Notably inspired by the world of Magdalene Odundo, Jonathan Anderson's first haute couture collection initiates a conversation between couture and sculpture. Grammaire des Formes presents fifteen silhouettes from Jonathan Anderson's new line alongside seven works by Magdalene Odundo and nine historical designs by Christian Dior.
Handcrafting ceramic sculptures, Magdalene Odundo has developed a formal language that echoes the rhythms of the human body while recalling the ancestral traditions of pottery. With their generous curves and skilfully polished surfaces, her oeuvre distils centuries of knowledge into forms that are both intimate and monumental.
