DIOR CONSTELLATIONS - 70 YEARS AT THE GALERIES LAFAYETTE

In 2017, as Dior fêtes 70 years, Galeries Lafayette in Paris is also marking the House’s anniversary.

On February 12, 1947, Christian Dior presented his first collection of Haute Couture, swiftly baptized the New Look, along with his first perfume, Miss Dior. It represented a revolution in femininity, perpetuated by the Creative Directors who have succeeded him, right up to Maria Grazia Chiuri today.

While this anniversary is primarily being celebrated with the unparalleled exhibition Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams, running until January 7th at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, the House will also be in the spotlight at Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann from September 20th to October 10th. The department store will dedicate 11 window displays to the designer, welcome a number of exclusive products and a takeover of la Coupole. The exhibition “I feel blue” at the Galerie des Galeries will feature twelve outfits from the archives that represent the fondness of Monsieur Dior for the color of the kings of France.
