Dior presents The Christian Dior Designer of Dreams exhibition at the Saudi National Museum, in Riyadh
Following its success at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams exhibition will make its next port of call at the Saudi National Museum in Riyadh – from November 21, 2024, to April 2, 2025, as part of Riyadh Season 2024*.
Cadenced thanks to an unprecedented narrative conceived by curator Florence Müller and scenographer Nathalie Crinière, this fabulous retrospective brings to life over seventy-five years of creative audacity initiated by the pioneering vision of Christian Dior.
From 1947 to the present day, the captivating inventiveness of the various Artistic Directors is highlighted while, from one Dior code to another, the multiple themes dear to the Maison are revealed – from Miss Dior to J’adore, from the passion for Versailles to the love of art in all its forms. The Lady Dior bag thus metamorphoses according to the works that have traveled the globe for the nine editions of the Dior Lady Art project.
Reflecting the fascination shared by Dior and Saudi Arabia for the wonders of nature, an enchanted setting and ode to the authentic, preserved beauty of the Al-‘Ulā oasis – an ancestral treasure of the province of Medina – hosts a series of dresses in hypnotic shades, evoking those of the sun embracing the desert. Prolonging this exceptional experience, a Café Dior promises delicious moments of conviviality and indulgence. A dreamed odyssey from yesterday to today, in the name of Dior elegance.
*A series of entertainment events organized in the Saudi capital.
