See Inside Dior's Breathtaking Paris Exhibition
From Galliano sending models down the runway with their hands tied up in the late 90s and women dressed in full papal vestments for A/W2000 to Maria Grazia Chiuri's recent, 'We should all be feminists' t-shirts, Dior's history is as proudly subversive as it is eclectic.
And what better way to celebrate the French fashion house's 70th anniversary? By throwing a lovely, overly glamorous retrospective, of course.
Dior is bringing its most iconic looks across the decades to Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
The exhibition will showcase the output of the seven creative directors who have been at the helm. First Christian Dior and those who followed after his death in 1957: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and the current, first female, holder of the post, Maria Grazia Chiuri.
The corseted silhouettes of Christian Dior's 'flower women' gives way to Yves Saint Laurent's 'trapeze line' dresses and who could forget the U-turn that came from John Galliano's sex-infused renegade seasons.
There will also be pieces from Raf Simons' revolutionary three-year tenure, and from Chiuri who has just shown an array of floral tulle dresses and borrowed-from-menswear pieces at Couture Week in Paris.
Christian Dior, Designer of Dreams at the Musée Des Arts Decoratifs until 7 January 2018
