The Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams exhibition includes beautiful highlights from post-World War II when Dior dressed Princess Margaret for her 21st birthday, to the present where actresses and models donned his designs and the manifestations of the six artistic directors who have succeeded him.
The endurance of his ball gowns and the delicate scents of the bottled perfumes are given centre-stage in the Sainsbury Gallery of the museum, together with descriptive timeline of his impact in fashion like the Dior’s famed Bar Suit and the launch of the Miss Dior fragrance in 1947.
