Christian Dior creative director Jonathan Anderson visits Dior Heritage in Paris to explore some of the most cherished pieces from the house’s extraordinary archive. First up is the iconic Bar jacket, the defining silhouette of Christian Dior’s revolutionary 1947 New Look, followed by La Cigale, an architectural 1952 dress and one of Anderson’s personal favorites from the Dior archive. Its sculptural construction also serves as a direct inspiration for Anderson’s own Dior Cigale bag. He then moves on to the magical Junon dress, Christian Dior’s spectacular 1949 creation covered in layers of iridescent, petal-like embroidery. The surviving piece is now so fragile that it can only be displayed lying flat. Heading deeper into the archives, Jonathan arrives at the original charts for Christian Dior’s Spring/Summer 1949 haute couture collection, offering a fascinating glimpse into how the house meticulously documented and organized its collections. Along the way, Jonathan also dives into another side of Christian Dior’s legacy: his often-overlooked business acumen.

I wonder out of historicd what brought the idea to treasure these designs as archives, heirlooms, keepsakes. And if they knew their appraised value . Being not just clothes , as else

Every haute couture house keeps an archive of their designs. None of the items can have an “appraised” value as they are invaluable to the House as part of its historical heritage, and to keep for future references. None of them would ever go on sale even though there are many haute couture dresses that were bought and worn by famous clients have fetched many times more (at auctions) than the price that was paid for originally.

Why do all american/british men connected to the fashion industry in any way have to be zesty?

Gallieano Puffer Jacket definitely is the attitude of an allure of wearing textiles off your shoulders. And the swag of a shoulder pump tossing the oversized hood overhead. I love how designers think of the art of clothes with the body movements

I like Jonathan because he comes cross as a real person, not an entity that lives in a pedestal of haute couture.

Could the Junon be replicated? What would it take in the modern era to recreate the Junon?
