This is the end of the Christian Dior exhibition in Paris (Musée des Arts Décoratifs – “Christian Dior, Couturier du rêve”) to celebrate the 70 years since the creation of the Maison Dior Couture.

It featured dresses created by Christian Dior and the creative directors who followed since: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons et very recently Maria Grazia Chiuri.
