When Dior comes to Atlanta, the Diva had to go check it out.
SCAD brings the best fashion and they did not disappoint with this Dior Crafting Fashion Exhibit.
Sketches and patterns come to life.
This collection shows how a piece comes together, from start to finish.
We see the inspiration turn into the most magnificent pieces.
This tie dye piece from 2012 has always had a chokehold on me.
Sketches, flowers and bits of fabric represent the details of some of the most iconic pieces to ever walk the Dior runways.
The history of each creative director was highlighted.
These pieces are like an enchanted field where fairies roam.
We saw the pieces in various forms of deconstruction side by side with the finished look.
The rooms flowed from unfinished to a fantasyland of florals.
Blossoms hung from the ceiling like clouds.
The next room was just as magical.
I swooned over the accessories room.
Hats, bags, gloves, shoes and even fans were at home next to miniature versions of couture gowns.
This needs to be a framed photo hanging in my home!
This room was a tease for what we were about to see.
NOTHING could have prepared me for Lady Dior Bag room.
We were then transported to Paris where we were surrounded by full on couture.
The meticulous beadwork and attention to detail took my breath away.
It’s one thing to see them in magazines, but actually seeing them up close was such a treasured experience.
I could have stared at this piece all day.
This is just…so Dior to me.
As an antique doll collector, I really loved seeing the scaled down gowns.
Fun fact, designers used to use dolls as mini mannequins to show their creations.
My favorite piece from the entire exhibit has to be this gown is from the Christian Dior Haute Couture Autumn/Winter 2004 collection designed by John Galliano.
The design was inspired by Empress Elisabeth “Sisi” of Austria, featuring a pooling skirt and defined hourglass silhouette.
This visit was truly a fashion lovers dream come true.
Thank you SCAD for always bringing us the best of fashion.
