It's the quote from the start of the exhibition,
from Christian Dior saying that ultimately he was looking to…
…perfect the female body through geometric shapes.
For me it's the workshop where we're going,
which I saw this morning, because that's where it starts,
with very little. Then come these handmade clothes,
which I find just amazing.
I was most impressed to see Dior's manuscripts.
The lines are extremely simple, but enough to express his imagination.
Every piece by Dior is of an exquisite fineness.
Dior never ceases to create something new while maintaining a classic feel.
Magnificent. That's the only word, magnificent.
It's the first time I've seen so many collection pieces brought together.
Every girl should see an exhibition like this at least once.
You can feel the elegance and self-confidence.
I've always found Dior creations very romantic,
the expression of young womanhood.
Each of these dresses, like this red dress,
give off a very constructed look.
Hollywood starlets wear Dior…
…when they walk the red carpet,
but to see the dresses displayed here is different.
Some are sexy, others charming or classic.
After all these years in the profession,
seeing these pieces for the first time, I feel like I'm about to cry.
It's a constant search for excellence, for raw materials,
for expertise and for a sort of abundance of subject matter.
