"As a Parisian couturier, I had to be aware not only of the needs of French women, but also of elegant women around the world." Christian Dior
In March of 1957 Christian Dior was the first French couturier to appear on the cover of the prestigious Time magazine.
In his hands he held a pair of giant scissors, as if he were about to cut and shape the world through his visionary gaze.
Not far from the truth, You could say that this image is an exact reflection of your reality.
Ten years before, on February 12, 1947, after appearing in the magazine Harper's Bazaar, the couturier immediately became the ambassador of French elegance.
His mother Madeleine, who had expected his son to become a diplomatShe would have been stunned by the way her life turned out!
"Dior: from Paris to the world".
The title of this new exhibition shows to perfection the extraordinary destiny of the Parisian couturier worshiped by Hollywood and the biggest stars on the planet.
Revealing more than 180 haute couture designs and 25 of the articles that gave life to the collections,.
As well as beautiful photographs, videos and films, original sketches, almost 200 accessories and objects related to perfumes and Dior makeup.
As well as a series of "rare" file pieces.

The Denver Art Museum (DAM) makes a sublime tribute to the contemporary international ambition of Christian Dior and the creative vision of his successors.
At first, the founder couturier had understood the importance of being open to the wishes of women all over the world.
On September 1, 1947, he embarked for America.
"I decided to do things thoroughly and take a complete tour of the United States," he wrote in his memoirs.
And already in 1948, he donated a dress called Chérie, extracted from its first collection, to one of the most important museums in the world: the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
This trip and this gift underline your Clear and intentional desire to write the history of your Paris home with an international, long-term and artistic perspective.
He achieved it in just ten intense years.
The couturier conquered the world by repeatedly opening stores abroad and pioneering new retail concepts.
"He was the first to understand that, from a very exclusive haute couture house, which caters to women of the highest elegance, could conquer the planet", Explains Florence Müller, curator of the exhibition.
He invented a visionary system.
"First the branches in New York, London and Caracas, then the famous licensing agreements with the best manufacturers to offer products of the best quality. Including scarves, lingerie, handbags, shoes and jewelry.
He has signed a variety of agreements from Canada to Japan "
Keep explaining Florence Müller.
Celebrating this amazing odyssey, the exhibition takes place in a scenography designed by the architect Shohei Shigematsu like a trail of couture crumbs, a curved labyrinth.
Those same curves that, for Christian Dior, they were the symbol of femininity.
Fifteen thematic spaces pay homage to the icons (the Bar jacket, the piece of manifesto of New Look, opens the revolutionary dance), to love for art and foreign cultures.
Without forgetting Ladies in Dior, loyal muses or passionate clients, perfect strangers or famous stars like Marilyn Monroe or Natalie Portman.
These fifteen spaces cross time and continents (Africa, Asia, Europe, America) and the numerous countries explored by the couturier and his six successors.
