I am, like many of you, a fan of Christian Dior. The haute couture brand has mastered the feminine silhouette, designing clothes that are an equal mix of elegance and modernity. Last November in the Courbe Gallery at the Grand Palais in Paris, LVMH put on an exhibition in honor of Christian Dior and his first perfume, Miss Dior. The scent has become a symbol of femininity since its creation in 1947, much like Chanel No. 5. As a tribute to the fashion house’s affiliation with the arts, Dior commissioned 15 female artists from around the world to create artwork inspired by the perfume. Using the trademark bow, classic flacon, and hounds-tooth pattern, the artists fabricated a variety of imaginative pieces, which you can see below.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Miss Dior is my favorite perfume, so sad I missed this…I had no idea that the exhibition was going on!

I caught it just before it closed! I’m also a big Miss Dior fan; it’s incredible just how much history is behind that little flacon! xx

Beautiful! I’m so bummed out I never managed to be able to go… when I finally made the time turned out it was the next day to the ending date!
At least these photos gave me a little glimpse into it 🙂
