The "Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams" exhibition makes its way to Tokyo for the seventh stop on its ongoing global tour. First staged at the Musée des Arts décoratifs in Paris in 2017 to commemorate the brand's 70th anniversary, the exhibition has since travelled to the Brooklyn Museum in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, as well as Shanghai, Chengdu and Doha. Like the previous shows, this latest iteration at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Tokyo serves as a dazzling, comprehensive retrospective of Christian Dior's oeuvre and those of his successors: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri. However, this new edition also delves into the rich history between the House and Japan-one that started in 1953 when Dior became the first French couturier to stage a fashion show in the country, and was further strengthened by the designer's partnerships with Daimaru, the department store, and Kanebo, the cosmetics manufacturer.
