Paris Fashion Week March 2023
30 Avenue Montaigne
75008 Paris
Bonjour Montaigne! Á part la rue Cambon et Galerie Lafayette, ma nouvelle découverte est le 8ème arrondissement. Prendre le métro ligne 1 ou 9 à la station Franklin-Roosevelt, c'est un plaisir visuel d'apprécier l'art des vitrines.
Boutique Dior on 30 Avenue Montaigne is a breathtaking visit, from the off-white atelier visual merchandising, the seasonal collection pour femme and pour homme to the cute courtyard of Café Dior. The springtime in Paris is slightly chilly during the daytime, for the calm and fresh teatime, I have my pleasure to enjoy the spacious table under the Dior parasol.
Afternoon tea selections at CAFÉ DIOR are pleasant, from Japanese sencha, British Earl Grey to African Rooibos; especially fruity Rooibos hot tea is perfect together with DIOR chocolate étoile: the rich milk chocolate spongy cake is piled up with creamy layer inside along with golden crusty balls, dazzled with tiramisu powder atop. Completed with a cup of espresso added with a slim bag of crane sugar printed 30 MONTAIGNE, Bonjour, chilly March of Paris, after the lovely tea moment, La Galerie Dior surely I am coming.
Featuring a unique scenographic narrative, LA GALERIE DIOR embodies the spirit of Parisian Haute Couture while perpetuating the memory of this historic address. LA GALERIE DIOR is behind this emblematic façade designed in the purest French style of the second half of the 19th century, with its elaborate balconies, volutes and mascarons, that more than seventy years of collections were born.
Invited and guided by the lovely sales associate Christine to the separate entrance from Rue François, my voyage is warmly welcomed by the contemporary works sculptured under British artist MARC QUINN (1964-) and Franco-Chinese artist Yan Pei-Ming 嚴培明 (1960-) at the hallway.
Taking the elevator and smoothly spiraling down from the third floor, the detailed history of Monsieur Dior and the family prepare the fashion connoisseurs the chronicle concept. Outstandingly and inevitably, from the eye-catching visual display, the magnificent off-white staircases surrounded by over 1,500 miniature objects from the world of Dior, with the most striking colour shades and elegant models; which; seem to float in the air, in a 2,000 square meters area on both third and second floor.
The complete history of the House of Dior is revealed in the 13 thematic rooms of LA GALERIE DIOR, Monsieur Dior’s office, the live show atelier for visitor to request the further knowledge, the magazine archives and the glamorous exhibitions: from the New Look to the iconic Corolla skirts of Christian Dior, from Yves Saint Laurent in youth to the extravagant John Galliano, from Raf Simons to Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré and Maria Grazia Chiuri. Alongside the revolution of classic fragrance, from DIOR POISON to J’ADORE, together, the history of legend has been written through the most talented Art Directors as well through the strong females, from Marylin Monroe to Grace Kelly, Princess of Wales, Diana, to Hollywood red-carpet favourite Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman.
Last but not the least, the lumière runway grand finale show plays the rays of the beauty, presents the most dreamy, delicate and dazzling gowns, in order to tell a repository of fashion memory, over which the spirit of Monsieur Dior has seemed to float since 1946.
Merci Beaucoup, pour la richesse des connaissances et la belle exposition. Je t'adore, je t'aime.
