Peter Lindbergh at La Galerie Dior – The Essence of Fashion
The exhibition “Dior/Lindbergh” brings together nearly 100 photographs spanning three decades of collaborations with the house of Dior. Peter Lindbergh, whose style revolutionized fashion photography, captured the soul of his subjects, far from the clichés of frozen perfection. La Galerie Dior, located at 30 avenue Montaigne, provides an ideal setting to discover how Lindbergh revealed the timeless essence of the house through his lens.
Peter Lindbergh is iconic in more ways than one. Known for his black-and-white portraits celebrating natural and raw beauty, his humanistic approach to photography highlights elegance without artifice, focusing on emotion and authenticity.
In this exhibition, Peter Lindbergh’s works offer an intimate vision of Dior’s creations, unveiling their unique character while emphasizing the stylistic evolution of the house under its seven artistic directors, from Christian Dior to Maria Grazia Chiuri.
One of the major series in this retrospective is a previously unseen collection created in 2018 on the streets of New York. Lindbergh photographed over 70 years of Dior creations in an urban setting, enhancing the house’s iconic pieces within contemporary scenes. The models move through a contrasting landscape, where the city’s architecture harmonizes with Dior’s elegant couture. This ambitious project highlights the timelessness of the creations, reminding us that Dior’s vision, like that of Peter Lindbergh, is deeply rooted in the present while honoring its heritage.
This exhibition is ultimately the result of a collaboration between La Galerie Dior and the Peter Lindbergh Foundation, paying tribute to the photographer’s lasting impact on the world of fashion. By exploring these photographs, visitors encounter not only iconic works but also more intimate and lesser-known images, revealing Lindbergh’s sensitive approach and his pursuit of truth in every portrait.
In celebrating Peter Lindbergh, this exhibition celebrates above all a singular vision of beauty and authenticity, reminding us that elegance lies above all in the soul of each image!
