On the 26th I met my friend Sara at the Museum of Contemporary Art to view the amazing Christian Dior exhibit.
I honestly did not know a lot about him but his designs were simply amazing. The exhibit was so well done! It had some of his famous dresses (including ones worn by Lady Di, Princess Grace and Elizabeth Taylor. It showed the steps it takes to take a Haute Couture dress from paper to final product.
They had one of their tailoring ateliers on hand to discuss the process ( he was so interesting and originally from the US but now living in Paris!). The also had some of their perfume specialists present who put the finishing touches on each bottle by hand.
In one of the final pictures of the show below (which is hard to see) the whole room was filled with J’adore perfume bottles hanging from the ceiling.
Amazing, amazing, amazing!
Afterwards Sara and I went to a delicious lunch in the museum where they created the Dior Cafe. It was redecorated to reflect the colors of Dior as well as accented with topiaries shaped like Dior perfume bottles and their famous Lady Dior Handbag.
