October DMA Tour - "Dior: From Paris to the World"
Details
In lieu of the usual monthly lunch we will return to our roots that geared us into our careers: our love of art. For our October Meetup, we will visit the "Dior: From Paris to the World" exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art before the exhibit ends on October 27, 2019. We will gather together at noon near the ticket office to purchase tickets for either the 12:30 or 12:45 exhibit. The exhibit allows a maximum of 35 visitors at a time in 15 minute intervals. The cost of the exhibit is $25 for non-DMA members and is for free for DMA members. Feel free to purchase your tickets in advance using the link below, and feel free to bring guests.
About The Exhibit
Since his debut collection, art gallerist turned legendary couturier Christian Dior has generated an epic movement in fashion history. With lavish embroidery, luxurious fabrics, and elegant silhouettes, his designs were a revolutionary celebration of modern femininity when they emerged in Paris after World War II. Today, Dior’s global influence is as enduring and iconic as ever. Dior: From Paris to the World surveys more than 70 years of the House of Dior’s legacy, featuring a dynamic selection of almost 200 haute couture dresses, as well as accessories, photographs, original sketches, runway videos, and other archival material.
This exhibition profiles both Dior himself and subsequent artistic directors, including Yves Saint Laurent (1958–1960), Marc Bohan (1961–1989), Gianfranco Ferré (1989–1996), John Galliano (1997–2011), Raf Simons (2012–2015), and Maria Grazia Chiuri (2016–present), all of whom have carried Dior’s vision into the 21st century.
