“Christian Dior” retrospective is a sight for sore eyes

Christian Dior Exhibition “A sight for sore eyes”

My trip to Paris last autumn was just marvellous, absolutely enchanting. Lovely weather, we had suddenly summer in the middle of the autumn…

All on my own, no obligations, so probably the most precious thing you can have: time, plenty of free time to roam the streets of Paris and enjoy as much art exhibitions, concert and films. I also enjoyed the company of my friends, whom I miss insanely when back in Bangkok.

I wasn’t going to miss the Christian Dior exhibition for anything at the “Musée des arts Décoratifs”. It’s the retrospective of 70 years of Dior.

An extremely extensive exhibition, I have never seen so many dresses in my life at the same time, fascinating! Each piece as an art piece of design and craft.

This exhibition will take you through 70 years of dedication to the dress and to the woman. With Christian Dior as the founding father leading you to Yves Saint Laurent, who modernised the style and therefore also the woman. To many years later with John Galliano taking the work of creation to an absolute new and spectacular level, never been seen before!

 

“Christian Dior” retrospective is a sight for sore eyes,

“Dior celebrates 70 years” was my great reason to make a trip to Paris last autumn. Paris was absolutely enchanting, gorgeous weather, with summer degrees and Paris, never looked better in the autumn colours. I had all the time in the world, so I went for long walks, enjoyed as many art exhibitions as I could, great company from my friends, concerts and films.

The entire exhibition would take you through a lifetime

of dedication to the dress and to the woman. With Christian Dior as the founding father leading you to Yves Saint Laurent. Who modernised the style and therefore also the woman. Years later John Galliano took the work of creation to a new, absolutely spectacular level, which never been seen before!

However, The Dior house brought later back

a certain naturalism by the Belgian designer Raf Simons. Who re-introduced a sculptured simplicity to the dress.

Today with finally, a woman at the helm of the design,

Maria Grazia Chiuri, intend to bring us a new strong and confident look to women. Facing a completely new day at the house with this new direction. She is an activist and feminist. Here you can read the article from Vogue last year and get an insight into Maria’s world.

The exhibition has been astronomically successful!

The house of Dior gives us candy for the eyes, though even for a short moment. This exhibition will be remembered dearly!

I’ll finish this article with a quotation from Boris Vian, from his lyrics:

“J’suis snob”  

“Et quand je serai mort J´veux un suaire de chez Dior!”
