On Thursday I went to the Dior exhibition at Harrods. I found it absolutely amazing and I recommend it to everyone. It finishes on April 14th which is not long so don't waste time. It is incredible how much I learnt during the exhibition and I could happily go around again without being bored. It took about 1 hour.
There are many secrets about Dior which I would never of known if I did not go. Christian Dior was a very superstitious man and it shows in many of his products and designs. For example, his lucky number was 8. Lots of his dresses have the silhouette in the shape of an eight, the shapes in his famous pattern are eight-sided, the famous "lady Dior" bags consist of eight pieces and takes eight hours to make, his perfume "J'adore Dior" also has the silhouette in the shape of an eight. All these things you may never have known, showing that there is alot of effort put into each Dior product. There are lots of different designs, which show the change in fashion since 1947 "The year fashion changed forever."
There are also lots of dresses worn by famous people that you can see. A few of them being Diana, princess of Wales, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Portman, Emma Watson and Charlize Theron, the famous dress which is in the J'adore Dior advert.
