If you’re complying with PurseBlog on Instagram then you may have seen pictures last week from Dior’s star-studded event in new York. The event kicked off the begin of the Christian Dior: designer Of dreams exhibit, which has been reinvented at the Brooklyn museum after successful stints in Paris, Shanghai, as well as London. I had the enjoyment of going to the event preview before the public opening, as well as it truly was a wonderful evening. The display was otherworldly, showcasing numerous pieces as well as artifacts from the home of Dior.
The Beginning
The exquisite experience chronicles the life as well as times of Christian Dior, both the guy himself as well as the business as a whole. A new scenographic narrative encapsulates more than 70 years of history, all given life as well as envisioned by Mr. Dior himself.
The exhibition features countless pieces from the Dior archive, from conception to completion, such as sketches, material swatches, as well as prototypes to the completed product. There is something to be seen around every corner.
Christian Dior: designer of dreams opens with a journey from Paris to new York, when Mr. Dior flew to America in September 1947, establishing his stateside subsidiary a year later. a few of his earliest haute couture creations are seen along this part of the journey, which provides a look into the mind of a innovative genius.
A journey with Art & Fashion
From there, the exhibition celebrates many other moments in Dior’s history. There are odes to a few of the most celebrated American photographers, showcasing iconic prints of the past as well as present, all of which caught Dior’s flamboyant silhouettes in addition to the creations of his successors.
Speaking of successors, a big part of the display showcases the visions as well as works of Dior’s creative Directors, from Yves Saint Laurent, John Galliano (who can fail to remember his iconic newsprint), as well as Raf Simons to the cherished Maria Grazia Chiuri. There are gowns that have been used by a few of the most treasured actresses of all time, from Grace Kelly to Jennifer Lawrence, as well as other wonderful pieces around every corner.
From art to fashion as well as a dream that began with one man, Christian Dior: designer Of dreams is a wonderful exploration of art as well as fashion, as well as it is a must-see if you’re in or visiting new York this fall. See more from the experience below, all pictures courtesy of Dior.
