Dior Retrospective

Sunday, January 06, 2008 Posted by Eric


If you're a francophile - and even if you're not actually! - you probably heard about Christian Dior, the famous couturier who precisely created Dior in 1941. Christian Dior died a long time ago (1957) but he had many famous successors (including Yves Saint Laurent and, or course, more recently John Galliano). Anyway, during the holiday season, they displayed a sort of retrospective in this weird little frame hanging on their building, avenue Montaigne. Cute!

    The display certainly is more befitting Paris than similar commercially-inspired displays in Tokyo's Shibuya.

    My grandmother had the exact same mirror with the thing on top (don't know the name) as well.
    Does indeed catch your eye!

    It definitely catches the eye but it looks so fake! :)

    I just watched the fabulous movie Avenue Montaigne for the third time last night (Fauteuils d'orchestre) and to see this posting from that same street today is just incredible!! Chapeau, Eric! C'est très cool.

    To me that seems SO Parisian! Maybe it's because of the movies. I love it.

    The frame reminds me of those kitchy Wedgewood souvenirs. A bit weird indeed for Dior.

    This is the sort of fantasy I have about Paris: sitting at a sidewalk cafe across the street from something like this, just watching the pictures change and the pretty women walk by dressed in Dior.

    I need to put together a holiday...

    Good idea! I love it when they come up with off-the-wall (no pun intended) ideas like that!

    That's why Paris is a great walking town, with much to see all around you! I love it!
