La Galerie de Dior : I Feel Blue
In 2017, Galeries Lafayette celebrated the seventeen anniversary of Dior designer house.
On February 12, 1947, Christian Dior presented his first haute couture collection, which would be soon after named “New Look” and followed by the creation of his first fragrance, Miss Dior. The designer house initiated a real revolution toward femininity which was perpetuated by the many artistic directors that succeeded, until Maria Grazia Chiuri, now at the head of the house. As this anniversary is celebrated at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs with the comprehensive exhibition Christian Dior, Couturier du Rêve, taking place until January 7, the house is under the spotlight at Galeries Lafayette from September 20, to October 10, 2017, through eleven window displays, exclusive items, an installation under the cupola and eventually through I Feel Blue, an exhibition on view at Galerie des Galeries unveiling twelve silhouettes from Dior’s archives, attesting of his attachment for the color that belonged to the kings of France.
