Women in Dior

Christian Dior pays tribute to women, whether famous or unknown.

The Christian Dior museum in Granville pays tribute to women, whether famous or unknown, without whom a couture house would never have existed, and presents a modern and sensitive "haute couture" gallery of over forty public figures who wore Dior between 1947 and 2016. In the "Femmes en Dior" (Women in Dior) exhibition, running till 25 September, the dresses and accessories reveal the personalities of the women who have worn them. Monsieur Dior and his successors saw haute couture as an everyday art form in which every moment counts, be it the simplicity of the daytime or the sumptuousness of a grand soirée.

Over the course of the exhibition, visitors discover dresses, photographs, paintings, drawings and letters that evoke the allure and personality of these women, whose pieces are selected and presented to illustrate the events of their lives spent wearing Dior.
