The meeting between a great photographer and a mythical couture house, “DIOR COUTUREPATRICK DEMARCHELIER” presents a fabulous retrospective of the Dior Haute Couturecollections, from the first show in 1947 to today.
Patrick Demarchelier has always admired Dior Haute Couture. For him it is the birthplace of“unique pieces that are veritable sculptures”. He therefore wanted to pay tribute to the superlativesplendour and expertise of Dior creations.
Rendered still more sublime by Patrick Demarchelier, the designs created by Christian Dior himselfand his successors, Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan and John Galliano, prove to be modernand timeless: a magic that flirts with eternity.
From Shanghai to Times Square, the grand staircase of the Paris Opera House to the garden ofthe Musée Rodin, places that the House of Dior treasures, Patrick Demarchelier captures all thatis quintessentially Dior, personified by the most beautiful women in the world, from CharlizeTheron to Gisèle Bundchen. Here the greatest talents honour the Dior legend.
