The work that’s put in at Dior is unbelievable. Wish to own a piece of their art one day.

[@aslamrusol7931]

The whole time im watching this , my heart just pray, oh god please bring me there in person to see and feel the glory and all its beauty.

[@MyVidStash]

Looking back, you can see Raf really understood the codes of the house. His pieces were so well-designed and executed and didn’t need gimmicks. That being said, I am also a fan of John, Gianfranco and Yves. They brought some excitement to the house and are true geniuses.

[@nikkosalvador3374]

When rad stepped in, he studied how Christian Dior really made clothes (That was in another documentary). That's why his designs really sticked to the Dior signature.

[@MyVidStash]

Gregory Tingley true Galiano has definitely changed direction. His work is rebellious and challenges our present ideas of couture, but I find that interesting. This attitude is also perfectly in line with the codes of his current house. He definitely can’t do the same at Dior. Also, on a different tangent, the dresses they picked at the start of this video are stunning and truly capture the spirit of Dior. Had to say it.

[@valeriehilen2875]

MyVidStash For me, G. Ferré was the best.

[@ashleydanielle2306]

What I love about watching this film is that you can learn so much about each and every designer's history, as well as the lovely workers who have so much passion in what they do. All down to the seamstress who took their time to restore a lot of the pieces. This is incredible and inspiring to watch.

[@Timewriter24]

Thanks John Galliano for your legacy at Dior. It’s impossible to minimize your work because your era is the most important in the recent history of this Maison. Fortunately, we can still enjoy your designs and vision in other Maison.

[@anne-herminecuignet3377]

It's incredible to see all the celebrities at the Première astonished: they just look at those beauties, speechless. The eyes talk. Sometimes we just don't have the words.

[@PHlophe]

Anne-hermione, its beautifully curated by i only saw 1%er over there. You were one of the hostesses ?

[@luissm8645]

In recent years Jhon Galliano and Raf Simons did an outstanding job, incredible. It seemed a bit sad to see the Galliano era being minimized, I think his work marks a before and after in the history of this fashion house. The first time I cried watching a fashion show was a haute couture by Jhon Galliano for Dior, the amount of beauty was simply incomprehensible.

[@ThePalatePrincess]

I was there--as stunning as this video is, nothing compares to seeing those beautiful couture pieces up close and personal. The exhibition was absolutely masterful and breathtaking.

[@ycastle565]

I was delighted that they have uploaded this magnificent documentary about the laborious work that it takes to organize a Dior fashion exhibition and how they manage to reflect the creative spirit of the creator of their brand and their supporters, who have merged their personal style of design with that of the monsieur Dior. I can not fail to mention that one of the artistic directors that I liked the most, in his time who was working in the house and who was the most successful in the reinterpretation of the codes of this, was Raf Simons, he managed to modernize, while maintaining the essence of the firm and managing to create a new look that is much more credible and usable, for the modern woman of the new century. He was undoubtedly an modern creative and his sewing pieces reflect him, in his beauty, delicacy and luxury. This is nothing against what Maria Churi is doing today which is valuable, but in itself what she does is not very the essence that the founder Christian Dior established in his brand. Maria Grazia is very personal for her very Italian design and Dior is not Italian fashion, it is FRENCH fashion.

[@Ceelle2]

I saw this exhibit with my daughter and we were both astounded by the beauty. We both smiled at how the French women in particular muscled their way to park themselves in front to study each seam! That is okay.. He was their designer genius, as was YSL.

[@aowl7720]

What I've come to understand from this documentary is that fashion is a social project. Something that reflects, challenges, and celebrates different moments of time. In a way, it felt like a sort of archive to capture another aspect of the human spirit. The boxy and monotoned public dress code during times of war reflected how the political transformation and turmoils at the time had a general affective effect on people's hearts. Dior's fashion was a reactive refusal of the gloominess imposed by the times, and it worked to create a new sense of hope and joy to people. This example, as well as the numerous others discussed in this documentary showed and reminded us, in a way, that fashion is a social project.

[@raeesabrey7249]

Absolutely stunning! I love how Raf's work honoured the past but was made for the modern woman. It really stood out from the rest.

[@cariocasun]

Thought it was the most carefully conceived exibition I ever saw. Glad I did not give up to stay in the line (f## cold) about 2 hours, and stayed like 3 inside... chapeau mes amis, super, et le documentaire bien sur aussi trés bien fait. M Dior would be very proud.

[@rosemarymonty5399]

Michel Nahum very envious that you were able to see this fabulous Dior presentation in person. It would be a once in a lifetime experience.

[@arthurboehm]

Couture isn't art; it's applied art. But when it's executed at the level, with the perfection, we see here, and displayed so gloriously, it has the effect of art: it can move you deeply.

[@tseamus8288]

I love Dior. Not just fashion house but legacy of fashion it self. And Christian Dior is a Legend.

[@gaiajeannev]

Not only did I relive my visit through this video, but I also integrated it by learning about the outstanding attention to details, craftsmanship and cooperation that went into it from the curator and the workers involved. I’m all the more in awe.

[@solecurious1448]

Bar suit... still stuns today in 2020👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Love Ferre for bringing back structured look with a strong hint of Baroque drama, and eccentric Galliano for his no-limit creativity which still upholds feminine curves and elegance. Was so in love with his Chinoiserie collection😘😍🥰

[@adrianasilva7370]

This exhibition was simply amazing! Everyone that worked to make it a reality made an incredible job. Congratulations Dior!

[@Bank.Kurasirikul]

Breathe taking, absolutely stunning. Spending a while watching this VDO can take me to another world without fear and uncertainty like in the real world.

[@bobduvar]

The dress "Lily of the valley"... beyond gorgeous !! Grace and beauty.... If i was a woman i would love to wear this gown !

[@lopezjr1]

Thanks for give us such a beautiful documentary during these difficult days. I was lucky enough to attend this exhibition and it was an unforgettable experience. This video brought to me a lot of memories. Thanks Dior. Life is beautiful when you see this kind of things.

[@neith6450]

I want to be a fashion designer, and watching this is making me want to cry. It's beyond beautiful. Fashion is art, that is not painted on a canvas. Designers have the power to expresswhatever they want through their dresses. Whenerver I think my ideas are bizarre I see even bizarre but equally creative dress, and that's what makes me move forward. I know I would never become one, considering I have to financial support. But as long as I can keep on sketching my ideas on paper it's more than enough.

[@tsi4357]

Just wanted to send encouragement, your ideas are not bizarre, they are creative and innovative. It’s that sort of madness that helps shift change, don’t be afraid to roll with it. Wishing you the best.

[@elizabethaloku4268]

[@sheylapelaez9054]

"Long live women!" Very well said

[@tequila1930]

A great documentary about a magnificent show. It is absolutely moving to see the kind of dedication behind the glorious look of the Haute Couture world.

[@ContrastY]

those 1950's designs are too glamorous for words

[@worldcitizeng6507]

the Musée des Arts Décoratifs is located next to the Musee du Louvre, the most north-western wing of the Palais du Louvre. It has permanat fashion exhibitions in addition to the special exhibition, I visited a a special exhibition in 2010, showcasing the 80's fashion, I think it was 12Euro. I love the fashion bookstore attached to this wing. Once a week, the museum open till 9pm, which is the best time to visit. One of the exit is next to the garden with a cafe, also perfect to just have a picnic on the garden bench looking at the Louvre & Eiffel Towel! This is such a good documentary for fashion lover.

[@edgarfilhodotcom]

I love the beautiful work that Raf did in Dior's house. It was a truly representation of modern woman trough the vision of Raf with the channeling of style of the great creator Monsieur Dior. This documentary + exhibition are pieces of art. Thank you for sharing all this beauty while we make trough this hard times. It warms the heart.

[@manuuu13059713]

I´m speechless, absolutely stunning! God save Dior.

[@breznevolaso4090]

Monsieur Dior is a genius, his legacy will live forever.

[@frankvaden772]

FANTASTIC! I only wish we could return to the days of elegance, femininity and beauty! Thanks so much for that presentation!

[@apforeverfriends]

It's sooooo beautiful! I'm just crying. I wish I could see it in real life one day

[@jadorerodriguez27]

I love when Maria Grazia was looking at the small scale of the Couture garments and said “ We are ready to move to Mattel” had me dying in laughter oh how I wish haha 😂

[@tyn999]

Christian Dior deserves this exhibition (so well planned and executed)! But, what astonishes me, is the amount of money and labor work involved in this project!

[@dloadthis1617]

Je vous remercie! Les robes étaient absolument superbes et bien présentées! Bravo à la maison Dior! 💓💕💓

[@user-cf2pq7te2o]

Mich faszinieren immer diese kleinen Modellkleider. Diese edlen „Puppenkleider“… Allein eine Ausstellung mit diesen Kleidchen würde mich schon anziehen.😍

[@katlyon7210]

emotional moment to be able to vicariously enjoy the dior creations throughout the years. simply breathtaking

[@Iconology]

Got to see this exhibition in London. Truly outstanding. You do really get lost in the majesty of Dior. J’ADORE DIOR

[@tula__]

Man! I don't see one non-artistic spot or dress piece. That was so much creativity at one place. Incredible! Congratulations to Dior for pulling such a massive fit. Thoroughly enjoyed.

[@jrnorman3049]

Simply wonderful thank you for sharing a behind the seams (pun intended) look at the exhibition creation. I saw the exhibition in both Paris and London and Paris was by far the most impressive and jaw dropping. So lovely to revisit that memory. And Wow Christian Dior was only designing haute couture for a decade but wow what an impact! J’adore Dior! 😍

[@crescentindigomoon]

Such a magnificent repertoire to call your life's works. Inspirational.

[@denisadellinger4543]

I am truly blown away ny this exhibit. Such care and execution of everything. I just wanted to cry all the way through this. Just wishing I could go see this exhibition for myself.

[@user-dc4st3kw8r]

Я в восхищении! А реплика - " красотой нужно делиться", вызвала прекрасные эмоции! Пусть красота ДОМА ДИОР процветает в нарядах женщин.

[@tristaatienza9158]

Everything is spectacular! All the designers worked under Dior was amazing and very talented...... I was like WOW!

[@Nickodecadence]

I can't @dior. Thank you, thank you for giving us a glimpse of the Apollonian glamor that your brand epitomizes! While all of us are confined in our houses, anxiously waiting for anything that will improve our condition; we are stripped out of our desires to dream and was forced to shift all our efforts to the basics of our existence, but yet you are there!! You are there shining ferociously amid the dark vastness of this desolate situation. This did not only give us hope, but that passion to continue dreaming uncontrollably, believing wickedly to ourselves.... that someday! Someday we will achieve what Dior has achieved

[@zandrak7683]

I find that any videos this channel comes out with is just quite satisfying

[@lavoiasummers8746]

One day, I hope 🙏 to see this in person ❤!!! So elegant and breathtaking ✨️.

[@RamonaCrisstea]

Sometimes all you need is a drop of going back in the past and get inspired

[@eveh6589]

I can't believe how much goes into it all from the clothes to shows and design is so beautiful and fragile and so time consuming to do and so much hard work and dedication is amazing and all the delicate work.

[@jhosemarcorrea]

Extraordinário, o poder da Moda - da tradução atemporal da beleza da mulher Dior e seu Sinônimo de elegância impar, que move ao longo de 70 anos! Sou um fã reiterado da Maison e do seu Criador - eu me emociono, em ver cada vestido, dos detalhes e forca do Saber fazer Frances da alta costura- Obrigado Dior por compartilhar esse vídeo - que de em tempo em tempo eu vejo e ainda me pego em lagrimas por tamanha beleza do patrimônio Dior !

[@lilMissF0F0]

I love the work of Raf Simons. It is indeed simple and minimalistic and looks effortless. But trust me, as a dress maker, it is very hard and complicated to make simple dresses look neat. It takes great amount of skills and experience to achieve his artistic and technical vision.
