Christian Dior and roses: an exhibit traces the floral inspiration
Christelle Pellissier (ETX Studio) Share: Dior and roses is a tribute to the ’queen of flowers,’ which so marked the childhood and the life of the great French couturier, inspiring much of his work and that of his successors, in the realms of both fashion and fragrance.
The exhibit will be on display at the Christian Dior museum, in Granville, France, when it reopens its doors on June 5.
More than a simple flower, the rose is testimony to the passion for gardening that Christian Dior discovered in his childhood home of Les Rhumbs Villa in Granville. It is also the color of this family home, plastered in a very soft pink, as the great couturier himself said, a color with infinite variations, as well as one of his favorite flowers, source of inspiration for one of the most emblematic silhouettes in the history of fashion, that of the flower-woman.
