IN CELEBRATION of The New Look – an Apple TV+ series created by Todd Adam Kessler – the Galerie Dior is opening an eclectic exhibition dedicated to the Maison’s archival costumes.
Opening on February 14th 2024, the exhibition has been specially curated to highlight key events in the title sequence – such as the legendary Sorbonne conference. Held in 1995, Dior was the first couturier to speak about his creative practice at the renowned Parisian university.

Following the talk, a unique runway presentation occurred, where a selection of Monsieur Dior’s models paraded through the halls in front of an audience of 1,200 students.
The runway show was an explicit display of Dior’s craftsmanship, expertise and commitment, showcasing a series of Dior’s most iconic silhouettes, including the Bar suit and the A suit.
