DIOR EN ROSES

 Dior Museum Grandville France




Exposition en cours....

DIOR EN ROSES


Always a pleasure to visit this lovely childhood home of M. Dior. Not only is the museum a full of exquisite Dior creations, but the grounds are spectacular. The current exhibition has roses in the title and there are lots of roses in the gardens.

The House of Dior has had many different skilled people at the helm since Christian Diors untimely death in 1957, but the quality, charm and beauty of the clothes remains unchanged.

Starting on the ground floor, here are some photos from my visit last week......










Up the splendid staircase to the first floor and a stunning case of dusty pink costumes. 



The sheer sculptural style of this....







 










Then the sharp jewel tones of these..









Look at the black roses on the floor of this case...











Swirls and swoops and fluid shapes.








And finally the second floor and more dusty pink and miniature examples of classic styles.









And the man himself in 1949





It is an enchanting museum. Exquisite clothes. Very well signed and beautifully designed displays. 
The English guide is well translated and very comprehensive. 
The staff are always pleasant and the shop is a delight.


Et un merci spécial à la charmante dame de la boutique qui m'a dit le mot français 'scénographie'. Je l'ai encore utilisé aujourd'hui !

A la prochaine ......
