On view at the Brooklyn Museum through February 20, 2022, “Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams” is a major retrospective detailing 75 years of couture at the French maison. Presented within the museum’s 20,000 square-feet Beaux-Arts Court, the exhibition was co-organized by Dior scholar Florence Müller, the Avenir Foundation Curator of Textile Art and Fashion at the Denver Art Museum and Brooklyn Museum’s Senior Curator of Fashion and Material Culture, Matthew Yokobosky, based on past presentations like those at the Museé des Arts Décoratifs, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Long Museum West Bund. Visitors will find an expansive selection including archival haute couture garments, photographs, videos, perfumes, accessories, sketches, and more, dating back to the 1940s, and following the house’s evolution through creative directors like Yves Saint Laurent and Marc Bohan, up through its first female creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri.
