The fashion pioneer Christian Dior was known for comparing fine clothing to fine art, and before starting one of the greatest fashion houses in history, he studied painting and was the director of a family owned gallery. Just as his contemporaries paved the way for modern art, through his revolutionary silhouettes, Dior created the look of modern women.

For the opening of this special exhibition, we have invited Vincent Leret, Patrimony Project Manager of Christian Dior, to share with us the legendary story of Christian Dior and the artists surrounding him, as well as the founding story of Miss Dior perfume.
