Christian Dior and his sister, Catherine, had a lifelong love of flowers — and when Monsieur Dior opened his couture house, in 1947, flowers became one of his key visual codes. #MariaGraziaChiuri celebrates this heritage by reinterpreting them in a modern way and through special projects like this one: a hand-painted bloom pressed between two layers of tulle for the ballet 'Nuit Blanche', choreographed by @Sebastien_Bertaud. This project, a collaboration with @EleonoraAbbagnatoofficial, Director of the Ballet at the Opera in Rome and an étoile at the Paris Opéra, creates a new bond between Dior and dance, the inspiration for the Spring-Summer 2019 collection.?? #DiorSavoirFaire #DiorOperaRome?? ?
