The much-awaited exhibition of “Christian Dior, Designer of Dreams” taking place at the Parisian Musée Des Arts Décoratifs honors Miss Dior, the first-born of the house’s fragrances that was created in 1947, through the “Dior, Couturier-Perfumer” room. Dedicated to this scent that has launched the rich and beautiful history of Dior’s fragrances, the latter displays the most iconic Miss Dior dresses, from the very first one created by Monsieur Dior in 1949 to Raf Simon’s pointillist design and Maria-Grazia Chiuri’s embroidered marvel, along with photographs of Catherine Dior, the couturier’s beloved sister and the inspiration behind this legendary fragrance.
Moving to the “Dior and the Grasse region” display, a journey to the Chateau de La Colle Noire awaits the visitor, while “Perfume bottles and exceptional women” reveals the faces of the stars that are faithful to the scent of Miss Dior such as Grace Kelly, Sophia Loren and Giulietta Masina.
