Curated by Oriole Cullen, Curator of Modern Textiles and Fashion at the V&A, the third take of the exhibition comes to life anew in China with a fresh scenographic narrative featuring many exceptional pieces, including more than 250 haute couture dresses, sketches, archival documents, photographs, and even emblematic perfumes such as Miss Dior and J’adore, as well as illustrations by René Gruau or Christian Bérard, and works by Chinese artists celebrating the bonds that have united the country and the Maison of Dior since 1947.

The impressive show is “an homage to heritage and creative passion”, and it’s thought as “an invitation on a journey to the heart of Christian Dior’s visionary audacity and that of his successors, from Yves Saint Laurent to Maria Grazia Chiuri today.” Starting with the revolutionary New Look that put Monsieur Dior’s name on everyone’s lips, and continuing with the more than seventy years of collections – from ready-to-wear to haute couture –, the exhibition is unmissable for anyone appreciating artistry, fashion and the ultimate craftsmanship.
