DIOR - Designer of Dreams

If you have just une minute*, it is well worth watching the very beginning of this documentary, “Dior - Designer of Dreams”.

The opening scenes find us at a photo shoot for the image above, and the moment of its capture is pure magie*. Keep an ear out for the unexpected Australian accent off camera, too. It truly is une équipe internationale* who pulled off this exquisite exhibition of 70 years of the House of Dior at Le Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris in 2017.

If you have an interest in la haute couture*, you’ll fall in love dès le départ*.

If you’re more of a sceptic, though, this could be le documentaire* to win you over, as it illustrates in the most intricate detail le dévouement*, la passion* et le travail acharné* required to create things of such beauty.

Currently showing at the Brooklyn Museum in New York, is it too much to hope it’ll eventually find its way aux Antipodes*?

Entre temps*, we have a video to watch… Enjoy.
