Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams

Tokyo (JP) > 21.12.2022 - 28.05.2023

Following its success at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, and after having traveled the world from London to New York(*1), the exhibition Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams will be presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, starting December 21, 2022; an exceptional event that celebrates the sincere, singular ties between Dior and Japan. Paced by a new scenographic narrative designed – as a tribute to Japanese culture – by architect Shohei Shigematsu(*2), Partner of OMA, this retrospective, which is being reinvented under the curatorship of Florence Müller, spotlights more than seventy-five years of bold passion, punctuated by wonderful discoveries: from the artistic influences of the founding couturier to his love of gardens, from the sumptuous magic of balls to his fascination with the creative richness of Japan, which inspired Dior’s collections from the outset. This unwavering friendship, consolidated by unique collaborations and mutual admiration, is reflected by precious archival documents, most of which have never been shown to the public.
