Number 11 bis of Rue Francois houses the Dior “Galerie”: a white marble staircase allows you to pass through a Diorama of approximately 1870 objects from the world of Dior.
Inside, the Galerie Dior is a tribute to the designer, pieces that trace his history, as well as that of the Maison. It includes an exhibition of miniatures of dresses created by the seven official coutiers: C. Dior, Y.S.Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferrè, John Galliano, R.Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri.
Dresses from the first show (February 12, 1947) to today are combined with “Lady D” or “Saddle” bags, “J’adore” perfume bottles and Steven Jones caps.
1422 pieces, from iconic bags to dresses, shoes and perfumes, were reproduced in bright colors and innovative materials using 30 3D printers: these worked 24 hours a day, seven days a week, completing production in six months.
To accompany the exhibition, there are also videos of all the couturiers of the Maison at work in the atelier, which still occupies the fourth and fifth floors above La Galerie.
