This is the decor that inspired someone who needs no introduction: Christian&nbsp;Dior. From May 4th to September 22nd, the Villa les Rhumbs, childhood home of the designer and now the Christian&nbsp;Dior&nbsp;Museum, will present the exhibit \u201cImpressions&nbsp;Dior\u201d as part of the \u201cNormandie Impressionisme\u201d festival.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Imagined by Florence M\u00fcller, fashion historian and appraiser, the exhibit will open a sort of dialogue between the Maison&nbsp;Dior\u2019s styles and Impressionist works, either originals or reproductions. Seventy dresses from&nbsp;Dior\u2019s first collection in 1947 up until Raf Simons\u2019 latest creations will be put out for all to see along with twelve paintings from masters like Degas, Renoir, and Monet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTelling the story of these dresses and their designer\u2019s sources of inspiration is the goal of this exhibit,\u201d explains Florence M\u00fcller. \u201cLike these artists that invented&nbsp;<em>plein air&nbsp;<\/em>painting, Christian&nbsp;Dior&nbsp;had a profound love for nature. Before being a couturier, he loved flowers and gardens, including the one at Rhumbs in Granville where he spent his childhood. He transposed this into his dresses throughout his entire career.\u201d Just like the Impressionists shook up late 19th-century art by depicting a fleeting&nbsp;impression&nbsp;of nature,&nbsp;Dior&nbsp;sought to imagine the silhouette of a fantasized woman-flower.<\/p>\n<p>With his dreamy disposition, he who once dreamed of becoming an architect was able to pick out the elements from his childhood that would bring him to imagine the curves-filled line that served as the foundation of his brand: the New Look. Far from being a simple young girl in flowers, the&nbsp;Dior&nbsp;Woman had a waist marked by a skirt that sometimes resembled a flower\u2019s corolla and sometimes was as straight as a stem. Inspired by the crinoline dresses worn by the women in&nbsp;<em>Le D\u00e9jeuner sur l\u2019Herbe<\/em>,&nbsp;Dior&nbsp;and his successors never ceased to reinvent the lines of this woman-flower.&nbsp;Flowers are still part of the stylistic vocabulary of Raf Simons, heir to the&nbsp;Dior&nbsp;brand. Concerned about respecting its history, he revisited the mythic wardrobe of the&nbsp;Dior&nbsp;Woman by enveloping it in a modernity that doesn\u2019t miss out&nbsp;on&nbsp;a bit of the poetry of his illustrious predecessor. The flower-stitched dress recently worn by Nicole Kidman by Canens is the proof.<\/p>\n<p>At the Villa les Rhumbs, the tour logically progresses through the garden according to an olfactory route called \u201cImpression&nbsp;des parfumeurs\u201d. Specially created for the exhibit to create an understanding of the chief Impressionists\u2019 sensitive interpretations, you might even start dreaming that the mythic perfume Miss&nbsp;Dior&nbsp;Ch\u00e9rie was born here, an olfactory ode to youth that has made the likes of Natale Portman see&nbsp;<em>la vie en rose<\/em>.Finally, while fashion is just as ephemeral as Monet\u2019s poppies, Christian&nbsp;Dior&nbsp;has succeeded in making his creations enter into eternity, just like the works by these master &nbsp;Impressionists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Belle \u00c9poque style house with pink walls, a cliffside sculpted by the sea, and English gardens that maybe even seemed like a labyrinth of colors and flowers through the eyes of his young eyes.
