Chapeaux Dior ! De Christian Dior À Stephen Jones

Exhibition at the Musée Christian Dior, Granville, original dates 25 April - 1 November, 2020 (cancelled)

Authored by renowned milliner Stephen Jones, this volume celebrates more than seventy years of exquisite hats and as much shapes and styles.
Opening with a focus on hats designed by Christian Dior himself, this exhibition catalogue explores the house's headdresses over the years--from the first millinery of the New Look to Yves Saint Laurent's Venetian masks, the toques of Marc Bohan, dramatic boaters by Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano's extravagant confections, the graphic neck bow by Raf Simons, and romantic designs by Maria Grazia Chiuri. It is enlivened by drawings and photographs from Dior's archives, and shots by famed photographers, such as Richard Avedon, Sir Cecil Beaton, and Craig McDean.
