"She immediately understood the power of fashion," Chiuri said of Baker, the famed French-American jazz singer and dancer.
She sought to depict the beauty and confidence of these women, Thomas told Reuters, describing the challenge of whittling the list down to 13.
The exhibit, which is set up in a temporary show space at the Rodin Museum in Paris is open to the public through January 29.
