Dior, a “dream designer”, rejects a retrospective

Seoul – Dior’s Blockbuster Retrospective may have traveled over several cities in the past nine years, but the fans of The Couture House can enjoy a completely new experience in the latest version in Seoul.

The exhibition, which first appeared in the Les Arts Décoralatals Museum in Paris for the 70th brand^Y The anniversary of Dior’s history of women’s clothes enveloped for special occasions, studio craftsmanship and workshop, as well as the love of the founder Christian Dior Gardens.

“Christian Dior: Dream Designer” at DongDaENUN Design Plaza, one of the SEOL’s summer landmarks designed by Zahia Hadid, on Friday and will open to the public until July 13.

“Every time it is the same topic, but with different concept and different dresses,” said Olivier Bielopos, deputy director of Dior Communications and Photo.

The pieces are newly chosen for each city, from a constantly medium archive collection that includes more than 15,000 dresses and 15,000 accessories. Visitors will be able to see about 250 dresses, starting with unprecedented pieces through auctions to numbers that can be recognized on the red carpet by JISOO of BlackPink and Natalie Portman.

“This company continued for a long time because there is a consistency between the designers who were the head of the house, and this exhibition tells the story,” said coordinator Florence Muller, who works with the inheritance team at the Dior Archive.

In addition to showing a new collection of dresses, the exhibition revealed the works of artists of Korean origin, including new additions to the Dior Lady Art project. Lee UFAN, the Mono-HA pioneer, brought the distinctive stroke to three bags of wool in black, mint and white.

The bags were shown at the Lady Dior exhibition alongside previous projects of Korean artists including Soo Sunny Park and Zadie XA. The iconic handbag exhibition is a completely new feature that was presented to torrents.

“The glass cases of the corner of the lady of Dior, I drew (the Korean artist), Nam June Pike,” said Shuwaihi Shigihatsu, Dutch architect Reem Kulp Oma.

He said: “Dior creates a platform in which many different minds converge, and it is a deep, uncommon cooperation in terms of integrating Asian aesthetics. It is a deep cooperation.”

Park, an American Korean artist, brought to a distinctive motor sculpture, an organic structure that interacts constantly with light to divert the room’s mood. “The artwork itself is not the thing. I would like to think about my work as a living grouping of things,” said Park.

Shigematsu noted that the place, which is usually used in the Seoul Fashion Week, has made exciting challenges.

He said: “It is 2000 square meters with 16 meters high ceilings without columns. The absolute freedom was very exciting, but sometimes freedom is frightening,” explaining that his team had to “build our own building inside a building” to create objective rooms that converge with one comprehensive story.

The most prominent in the exhibition is a room in the atmosphere depicted as a giant “dalhangari” tractor, which is a traditional piece of porcelain in the Joseon era. Christian Dior’s love for gardens is brought again through the art of delicate paper by Hyunju Kim. The artist works with “Hanji” or Korean traditional fiber paper, for more than a decade. Kim, along with more than 20 assistants, spent more than two months to formulate tens of thousands of paper leaves, flowers and branches. Then two weeks were allocated to the paper “cultivation” individually without using glue.

“I really took into account sustainability,” Kim said. “The new appearance has expressed femininity and recovery after the war, and so I think the organic quality of” Hanji “can bring the wonders of nature to the modern world,” Kim said.

“I liked to work with Dior because I really felt the support and respect for anything I wanted to do,” she added.

Bialobos explained that artists have “criticizing Blanche to do everything they want”, which helps the brand to push new boundaries in terms of technology. For example, artistic bags of the former Dior with the Korean artist Lee Bul appeared on pieces of rocks that were challenged the brand to formulate in some way so that it was eventually thinner of the leather. The Lee bag is also displayed in the exhibition.

XA, a Korean Canadian artist, expanded her horizons as an artist when she was assigned to make a picture of Christian Dior for this show.

“I do not usually do pictures, so it was fun and interesting,” said XA, who held many talks with her husband, the mayor of Benito Vlaio, known as the most traditional European -style pictures.

“When we often think about the pictures, we think about the physical, but I wanted more psychological exploration. This was not easy because there is a lot of mysticism surrounding this man. But through my research, I saw Monsni Dior in a more sympathetic way and felt to contact him than: a man who loved gardens and called a bag after his dog.”
