Dior exhibition at Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow

Organized at the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, the exhibition was imagined as a dialogue between the most beautiful dresses created by Christian Dior and contemporary works of art as well as from the 18th century.

This exhibition showed that contemporary haute couture occupies an increasingly important place in the world’s major museums.
But the essential idea is that of the relationship between the past and the future.

Christian Dior has always explained that he kept an eye towards the past to create his collections, drawing inspiration from high French traditions, particularly in art.

To illustrate the richness and style of the 18th century so dear to the creativity of the couturier of 30 avenue Montaigne, the Pushkin Museum exhibited furniture from the Kraemer Gallery, such as the famous Louis XVI chair in the shape of a medallion so emblematic of the house of Dior .
