Icon-Icon Opinion :
A moving work — “We are all in danger while we live, but it is precisely this danger that we love since it expands our hearts by bringing infinity into them — and admire Venice and life and death and your intense heart” wrote Rainer Maria Rilke in 1908.

My dear and beautiful Friend, for the first time alone with your portrait I must write to you in the silence of the Venetian night. However small this letter, it will retain the advantage of being the first. There will be others who will repeat to you what she comes to tell you ingenuously: how happy I am to have met you, beautiful and admirable as you are in everything. I learn about your beauty like a child who is told a beautiful story.

Description :The triumph of an eternal house, seventy years after its spectacular first show.
On February 12, 1947, a young house named after its founder, Christian Dior, presented a spring-summer haute couture collection in a Paris still in the grip of winter cold. The creations were shown in a salon freshly painted in dove gray at 30 Avenue Montaigne, a historic and mythical address. This is the novelty that Dior symbolizes for fashion in general, and for Paris in particular. These codes, this visual language have fascinated the many successors of the designer: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, but especially John Galliano, and since 2017 Maria Grazia Chiuri. Their task has been, season after season, to find a new voice through the vocabulary of Dior.
