Dior's Big 100 !
What else could the world of fashion be talking about at this time if it isn't the celebration of legendary French designer Christian Dior's 100th anniversary?
And how could we forget the man behind the "New Look" of the late 40s...
Celebrations began in May in Normandy. The range of festival events to honor the notable designer comprises a major exhibition, a fashion photography show, a vintage car rally, a film festival and sports tournaments.
The exhibition, called "Christian Dior – Man of the Century", will be showcased at Dior's childhood home-turned-museum in Granville on the northwest coast of France from May 15 to September 25. According to Christian Dior Couture chairman Sidney Toledano, Dior's family villa and its garden in Granville were "sources of inspiration for him" and thus were a perfect place to pay honor to the great man.
"With him, I learned what true elegance was. Without him, I would not be Pierre Cardin," said the 82-year-old French couturier who was Dior's first employee, working with him for three years.
"He is still very much present," said the creative director for Christian Dior John Galliano. "I wish I could have met him, and sometimes I still ask for his advice. I think we would have had a lot in common."
