Christian Dior is the epitome of elegance—there’s no doubt about it; it’s a fact. I appreciated Dior’s style as a teenager, driven by my early interest in fashion, but I truly discovered the world of Maison Christian Dior during an internship I had at Dior as part of my studies. Though my internship focused on marketing and management, I had access to a treasure trove of beautifully preserved archives from Christian Dior—drawings of dresses, fabric samples, photographs… I was in awe of his work and craftsmanship, as well as the sophisticated world he envisioned.
Now, the legendary French fashion house is celebrating its legacy with a retrospective featuring over 300 Dior gowns, along with accessories, illustrations, notes, and sketches spanning the decades. This large-scale exhibition is being held at The Musée des Arts Décoratifs:
The Musée des Arts Décoratifs is celebrating the 70th anniversary of the creation of the House of Dior. This lavish and comprehensive exhibition invites visitors on a voyage of discovery through the universe of the House of Dior’s founder and the illustrious couturiers who succeeded him: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and, most recently, Maria Grazia Chiuri.
The exhibition runs until January 7, 2018, and it’s definitely something I don’t want to miss!
