A 70th anniversary look back at Dior

A landmark retrospective celebrating Christian Dior Couture’s 70th anniversary opened in

Christian Dior exerts such a complex allure after 70 years that no two visitors will enter the Musée de Arts Décoratifs retrospective for the same reason.

Its image has been shaped by six different designers since the founder’s death in 1957. Each responded to contemporary events and incorporated Dior’s legacy differently. The label’s influence is maintained by consistently generating fashion moments.
