Miss Dior exhibition illuminates Shanghai
From September 13 to October 8, Dior presents Miss Dior Exhibition: Stories of a Miss at the Fosun Foundation in Shanghai. The exhibition creates a multi-dimensional dialogue between archives and contemporary artworks, reflectingthe independent spirit and resilient femininity of Dior, while highlighting the house’s enduring legacy of artistic expression.
The exhibition opens on the forecourt of the Foundation, and unfolds across each floor,offering an immersive journey into the world of Miss Dior:from the origins of the fragrance in the fields of Grasse, to a destined encounter with art andfashion.
Visitors first enter the Ribbon room, where the history of perfume and its key figures are revealed through photographs, objects and archival material from the heritage department of the House of Dior.
The experience continues in the indoor garden imagined by artist Eva Jospin. Its walls are adorned with her delicately embroidered frescoes echoing a couture evening gown in white organza embroidered with chiffon reminiscent of a pointillist painting. In the Flower Room, the key notes of the perfume release their fragrance through an olfactory installation designed toimmerse visitors into its mysterious essence, complemented by a sculptural floral dress.
The journey then passes through the vibrant Sixties room where the colorful, graphic décor revives the modern spirit of Dior’sfirst ready-to-wearcollection, Miss Dior, which embodied the couturier's dream to dress everywoman.
Finally, an exceptional collection of haute couture converses with the works, reminding visitors of Christian Dior’s close friendships with artists of the era。Inspired by the free spirit of Miss Dior, the workson display---spanning illustration, sculpture, painting and limited editionpresentation cases--- are created by some of the most talented women artists from across the globe.
