The World According to Christian Dior

Legendary designer Christian Dior helmed his fashion house for only ten years, but in that short time, he changed the face of fashion forever. Despite the large number of designers that have cycled through since 1957, Christian Dior’s spirit seems eternally present. This lecture tells the story of the famous Parisian fashion house through the personal story of Dior himself and through the stories of the designers that have since passed through its doors; including the loved-and-loathed John Galliano and the scandal that led to his dismissal, Maria Gracia Chiuri, the first woman artistic director of the Maison who made feminist values a part of the brand’s identity, and Jonathan Anderson, the current designer bringing a contemporary and innovative vision.
