If you are not able to go, here are some of the highlights of the collection (well, for me anyway). I hope you find them just as inspiring.
The most iconic image of Dior's New Look...
....and the current look under the first female director, Maria Grazia Churi
The collection starts with a tour through Christian Dior's original lines....
Then takes you through a series of themed collections including designs from all directors since Dior himself. However, I am mainly drawn to either Dior or Churi's designs throughout.
Historical themes:
Global inspiration:
Le jardin:
The inspiration behind dress designs and perfumes.
This spectacular gown is from a very recent collection.
The exhibition then takes you through the signature looks of design directors after Christian Dior.
(Apologies that all my photographs were of Maria Grazia Churi! I was attempting to snap anything that really spoke to me.)
The room of toiles made me think about taking time to perfect fit and design before using a quality fabric.
The finale of the exhibition is the gown room which really is the show stopper. The room itself changes from dawn to dusk through the night and back again which shows the gowns off in golden and silver hues.
Well worth a trip, if you can get tickets.
