Dior / Lindbergh : New York
In 2018, Dior gave Peter Lindbergh carte blanche, and the project he dreamed up seemed crazy: taking 80 emblematic looks from the Dior archives and immortalising them in Times Square.
“While Haute Couture is closely linked with an idea of perfection and the mastery of every last detail, I wanted to transport 70 years of Dior creations to an unexpected place. The streets of New York embody the most contrasting background to reveal unforeseen emotions."
Influenced by documentary photography from 1930-40s America, Peter Lindbergh chose the art of “street photography”, the crux of which involves capturing the spontaneity of the moment. The silhouettes designed by Christian Dior and his successors, such as Maria Grazia Chiuri, take form “in the movement of life”, to use his own words, and thus anchor more than ever the modernity of the Dior style.
The images offer a striking contrast across time and space, past and present, Paris and New York, Haute Couture and the street, perfection and imperfection. Organised ahead of a book publishing, the shoot allowed Peter Lindbergh to work on series of photos dedicated to a single look, resulting in an incredible cinematographic effect for each line.
