The exhibition for Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams is a must see in NYC right now.
The exposition features the different timelines in honor of the House of Dior. From Yves Saint Laurent, to John Galliano and Maria Grazia Chiuri: the legacy of Dior lives on as most of the most exceptional fashion houses in the industry.
Scroll below some highlights from the Museum that are too good not to share.
The House of Dior was formed in the year 1946 by the late designer Christian Dior. Formally known as a fashion illustrator in the 1930s for fashion houses such as Schiaparrlli and The House of Worth, Dior became a known couturier when he was hired by designer, Robert Piguet. In 1938, Dior created a collection under Piguet, titled as “Café Anglais”, which featured the signature full skirt that would be recreated many collections later.
Christian Dior was known for inventing “The New Look” which debuted in 1947 for his Spring Summer collection. The waspy waist and full skirt design was celebrated in the late 40s by Hollywood actresses. The overall design has been generated with new ideas throughout many collections.
The 50s vintage look was essentially designed by Dior himself. The two black dresses as pictured above feature the hour glass shape that showed every fashionable curve of a woman.
In 1950, Christian Dior, is awarded the French Legion of Honor for his contribution to the fashion and textile industry. His career took off and created makeup and shoes in 1953. He began to present collections in America following the 10 Year Anniversary of “The New Look” in 1957.
Christian Dior died of a heart attack at the young age of 52 years old in 1957 and his assistant, Yves Saint Laurent, was appointed creative director for the House of Dior. In January 30 1958, Yves Saint Laurent presents his first collection. It features the innovative Trapèze line, which, with
its ample silhouette, marks a turning point in the history of the House of Dior.
The House of Dior appoints another creative director such as Marc Bohan who presented his collection in 1961, which featured “The Slim Look” was awarded the prestigious Dé d’Or (Golden Thimble) for his Haute Couture Spring–Summer collection in 1983.
In 1989 Gianfranco Ferré became the creative director of Dior. His designs were more over the top and extravagant using exmphasis of heavy drapery, gold and elaborate textiles.
He is awarded the Dé d’Or (Golden Thimble) for his first Haute Couture Autumn–Winter collection.
In 1996, Designer John Galliano is appointed as creative director of Dior. He was known for dressing
Princess Diana for the 1996 Met Ball and was popularized for his extravagant period piece themed shows: From the over the top hair and makeup and styling of the show, Galliano’s legacy is adorned by many fans of the late 1990’s/early 2000’s fashion today.
The green gown from the Fall Winter 1998 collection featured exquiste floral, peacock and grass panels all along the body. To see the craftmanship in person is better than to view in photos.
This Erte inspired beaded gown from the Spring 1998 collection featued geometric payettes, open back cowl and long exagerrated sleeves with beading.
This deconstructed gown from the Fall 2005 collection shows the intricate composition of what goes underneath a gown with a twist. From the tulle lined skirt to the visible horsehair and strucutred drapery: The whimsical look brings limitless ideas and inspires a limitless possibiltiy of what a gown can really be.
One of the last collections from John Galliano featured a brilliant ensemble of florals and orchards. This taffeta gown from the Fall-Winter 2010/2011 Haute Couture collection is truly magnificent and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. From stark black draped bodice to the contrasting bright yellow and orchard print under lining, the abundance of fabric and technicality is truly inspiring.
The current aesthetic of Dior showcases the influence of Christian Dior himself with his adoration for florals and his childhood where he would visit the gardens in Normandy. Christian Dior wass heavily influenced by flowers and designed his silhouettes according to the shape and colors of each blossom.
As the House of Dior evolves under the many visions of multiple creative directors afterwards with Bill Gaytten, Raf Simmons, and now the first appointed female creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri: The legacy of Dior with the superior detail and overall construction in design. From the engineered textiles to the colors and classic silhouettes, Dior has become an everlasting household name in the fashion industry.
