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.
