A new exhibition examines the storied legacy and legendary creative directors of the house, from Christian Dior to Maria Grazia Chiuri.
Since Christian Dior founded his namesake brand in 1946, the French fashion house has been a trailblazer in the industry. Dior's evolution and widespread influence is in part due to its list of incredibly talented creative directors through the years, which includes iconic names such as Yves Saint Laurent, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri. A recently opened exhibition, titled, explores the legacy of Dior and these directors’ indelible mark on the prominent couture house.
On view through September 1 at the Dallas Museum of Art, the same city where Dior received the Neiman Marcus Fashion Award decades earlier,celebrates the house’s vibrant transformations throughout time. Originally curated by Florence Müller, the visitors are lead through a magnificent presentation of all things Dior — including 200-plus haute couture dresses, accessories, personal photographs, sketches, and more.
“What I really love about this exhibition, and from working on it, was that I think about it as if you are doing a needlepoint embroidery of a petal,” says Sarah Schleuning, senior curator of decorative arts and design at DMA and curator of the Dallas presentation. “The center part where you always pull from is Christian Dior and his vision, and each one of these creative directors have picked up or mined a certain aspect of him and have made it their own.
From the extravagant designs of John Galliano, to the sophisticated minimalism brought in by Raf Simons, i-D explores the various different directors of Dior that are celebrated in this exhibit.From 1946 to 1957, Christian Dior was at the helm of fashion. His “New Look” designs, which featured narrow waists, pronounced hips, and a specific air of glamour, remain iconic even today. However, Dior’s foray into fashion may have been a surprise even to himself.
