London’s Victoria & Albert museum is no stranger to fashion as they have held a few exhibitions regarding the industry in the past. However, now the venue is set to host an incredibly extensive exhibition about Christian Dior, his fashion house legacy as well as the designer’s relationship with Britain.
Specifically, Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams is an exhibition that is going to display pieces designed by Christian Dior as well as work from a few recognisable designers that followed him at the house, these being individuals like Raf Simons, Yves Saint Laurent, John Galliano and Maria Grazia Chiuri. The curator Oriole Cullen explained that “the influence of Christian Dior’s design was all-pervasive and helped to define an era. In their own individual ways, each of the House’s successive artistic directors have referenced and reinterpreted Dior’s own designs and continued the legacy of the founder, ensuring that the House of Christian Dior is at the forefront of fashion today. More than seventy years after its founding, the V&A’s exhibition will celebrate the enduring influence of the House of Dior and uncover Dior’s relationship with Britain.”
If you are a fan of fashion then visiting Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams is a no-brainer, the exhibition will open on the 2nd of February 2019 and will run until the 14th of July.
