Just Two Weeks left to visit CHRISTIAN DIOR: DESIGNER OF DREAMS a stunning retrospective of one the finest fashion designers of the last century that is a must for EVERY fashionista. The Exhibition at the BROOKLYN MUSEUM traces the groundbreaking history and legacy of the House of Dior. It presents a wide array of over two hundred haute couture garments as well as photographs, archival videos, sketches, vintage perfume elements, and accessories, and features works from the Museum’s collection.
The haute couture on view exemplifies the French couturier’s fabled silhouettes, including his groundbreaking “New Look,” which debuted in 1947 and they include objects drawn primarily from the Dior archives,
Presented are galleries devoted to the years that Dior, as well as his six successors, each designed at the House of Dior, followed by eighteenth-century-inspired gowns, a “colorama” display of Dior accessories, and a gallery of toiles (the full-scale, 3-D mockups used to confirm finished designs) showcasing the dressmaking process. The central atrium of our Beaux-Arts Court has been redesigned as an enchanted garden, and a concluding gallery celebrates dresses worn by stars from Grace Kelly to Jennifer Lawrence.
