The Dior Ball
Fascinated since childhood by the magic of masquerades, Christian Dior created sumptuous dresses for the grand balls of the post-war period, rejoicing in renewed prosperity.
“Parties like that are genuine works of art.”
These dreamlike parties were enchanted interludes, moments where the imaginary embraced reality, offering opportunities to both fully indulge in fantasy and apply the extraordinary savoir-faire of Haute Couture, with feathers, embroidery and lace embellishing the most luxurious fabrics. “People may be annoyed by them, by the very fact that they are on a grand scale — nevertheless they are desirable, and important even in the history of our time, because they produce the authentic sense of popular enjoyment,” wrote Monsieur Dior about these suspended moments in time for which he designed dazzling silhouettes that are added to, season after season, by the sublime creations of his successors.
As a tribute to this passion, Maria Grazia Chiuri celebrated her first Haute Couture collection with a sumptuous masked ball in the gardens of the Rodin Museum.
