"A stone's throw from the Champs-Elysées, Galerie Dior is housed in an elegant building at 30 Avenue Montaigne, once the glamorous headquarters of Christian Dior's fashion empire. Dedicated to the story of Dior's life and rise to fame, it's a breath-taking tribute to one of the most famous designers of France, with a stunning two-story diorama of miniature haute-couture designs including 452 dresses by Dior's seven official couturiers from Dior's 1947 "New Look" fashion show to the present day."
"Discover a display of dazzling Dior couture through the decades from bejewelled bags, gloves, hats, shoes, fabulous frocks galore, cases of gorgeous things presented in an ethereal and informative way. You'll see designs at the earliest stage, plain white outfits but oh so classy, and watch a Dior couture creator in action."
