FASHION HISTORY

For the first time in the Middle East, the House of Dior brings the exhibition Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams to Doha. The retrospective is an ode to the luxury brand’s heritage.

Following its success at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and several prestigious museums worldwide, from London to New York, the exhibition now lands in Doha. The M7, Qatar’s hub for innovation and entrepreneurship in design, fashion and tech, located in Msheireb Downtown Doha, presents the exhibition from November 6 to March 31, 2022, marking a first for the House of Dior in the Middle East region.

This newly reinvented retrospective, curated by Olivier Gabet, Director of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, features a fresh scenography narrative. It celebrates more than 70 years of creative passion, punctuated by extraordinary discoveries, bringing creations from the iconic 30 Avenue Montaigne with inspirations from the sumptuousness of Versailles and enchanted gardens. The exhibition highlights haute couture designs from past and present, designed by Christian Dior and the artistic directors that succeed him. Names such as Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri. A must-see is the iconic Bar afternoon ensemble from the Haute Couture Spring-Summer 1947 of the Corolle collection, known as the New Look.

Keeping alive the visionary spirit of the designer who gives his name to the house, some icons can also be appreciated, including versions of the Lady Dior bag reinterpreted for the Dior Lady Art project. A selection of works and decorative objects from the collections of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs is also on display.
