Following its run at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, this highly anticipated event is set to bring a fresh and innovative experience to Saudi Arabia. Curated by fashion historian Florence Müller and designed by well-known scenographer Nathalie Crinière, the exhibition presents a captivating journey through more than seventy years of Dior’s influential legacy.
This exhibition is expected to be among the many highly sought-after destinations during Riyadh Season. For the first time in Saudi Arabia, fashion lovers will have the opportunity to view over 500 archival dresses from the legendary house of Dior. Through a mix of art, passion, and haute couture, the exhibition celebrates the legacy of Christian Dior and his extraordinary contributions to the world of fashion.
Visitors will be fully immersed in Christian Dior’s creative universe, from his iconic atelier at 30 Avenue Montaigne to his deep fascination with nature, particularly gardens and the plant world. The exhibition also highlights his admiration for Versailles and the Age of Enlightenment, both of which significantly influenced his designs. In addition to pieces created by Dior himself, the exhibition will showcase haute couture masterpieces designed by his successors, including Yves Saint Laurent, John Galliano, and Maria Grazia Chiuri.
For visitors wanting to take a piece of Dior home, a dedicated souvenir shop will be available within the exhibition space.
