The French House celebrates 60 years of fashion photographyWhen Carmen Snow, editor of Harper's Bazaar magazine, said Christian Dior back to 1947: "What a revolution, dear! Your clothing has opened a New Look", and diminished post-war Paris emerged with a new light. Dior then became a living legend, and her needle, in the most desired.The French House celebrates 60 years of pictures, full of style and fashion, with an exhibition in Moscow. The luxury firm is closely linked to the great photographers and emerging talents. From the snapshots of stylish and demure dummies of the 50 suits with long skirts and narrow waists and voluminous, John Galliano to simulate riding an epic battle in a colorful mise en scene to celebrate his 10 years as a designer of the signature, 120 Photographs remind us of the universe Dior. A universe captured by Patrick Demarchelier, Henry Clarke, Simon Procter or the British artist Zanna. What's in the parades of haute couture, delicate items and jewelry inspired by high Asia, the backstage of the catwalk of Paris ... Nothing escapes its sensitivity.It is no coincidence that Russia is the country chosen to host this exhibition. Dior and the former USSR have maintained close ties and influence from the early 50s. In 1959, the French couturier sent to Moscow for several models with 120 couture dresses for a first parade of the firm in the Russian capital. During three days, 11,000 people visited the famous Moscow club Les ailes du soviet seeing the collection. The pictures of that event we move to the golden age of fashion, where the silhouette of women will come and the clothes were incredibly feminine.John Galliano paid tribute to Russia on numerous occasions. The spring 1998 collection for Dior couture took as leitmotiv the Russian ballet, while the spring-summer 2002 fashion shifted to the fascinating world ornamental gateway after a trip to the Russian Museum in St. Peter the Great Petersburg.Image: DiorPoster parade of the house in the Russian capital in 1959
