Esprit Dior - Shanghai Contemporary Art Museum



"When Christian Dior unveiled his very first collection on 12 February 1947, he perfumed the salons at 30 avenue Montaigne with his very first fragrance Miss Dior, without which he considered his creations incomplete. The unique silhouette he launched on that momentous day revolutionised the world of fashion with its accentuated hips, cinched waist and emphasised bust.




"The elegant new Dior line, a pure exaltation of femininity, was immediately christened the "New Look" by Carmel Snow, the eminent editor of Harper's Bazaar. The Dior myth was born and every season for the next ten years Christian Dior invented the new lines that made fashion history and created an inimitable style. Dior is the magic of a creative genius."



 An Italian Dior Tailor from Paris
"When he created the  House of Christian Dior, it was his vision and sense of construction and colour that immediately established him as a towering figure of haute couture. Many of his creations, such as the Picasso, Braque and Matisse designs, were tributes to his artist friends. Dior created a world of enchantment."
