What I love about watching this film is that you can learn so much about each and every designer's history, as well as the lovely workers who have so much passion in what they do. All down to the seamstress who took their time to restore a lot of the pieces. This is incredible and inspiring to watch.

The whole time im watching this, my heart just pray, oh god please bring me there in person to see and feel the glory and all its beauty.

The work that’s put in at Dior is unbelievable. Wish to own a piece of their art one day.

I was delighted that they have uploaded this magnificent documentary about the laborious work that it takes to organize a Dior fashion exhibition and how they manage to reflect the creative spirit of the creator of their brand and their supporters, who have merged their personal style of design with that of the monsieur Dior. I can not fail to mention that one of the artistic directors that I liked the most, in his time who was working in the house and who was the most successful in the reinterpretation of the codes of this, was Raf Simons, he managed to modernize, while maintaining the essence of the firm and managing to create a new look that is much more credible and usable, for the modern woman of the new century. He was undoubtedly an modern creative and his sewing pieces reflect him, in his beauty, delicacy and luxury. This is nothing against what Maria Churi is doing today which is valuable, but in itself what she does is not very the essence that the founder Christian Dior established in his brand. Maria Grazia is very personal for her very Italian design and Dior is not Italian fashion, it is FRENCH fashion.

Thanks John Galliano for your legacy at Dior. It’s impossible to minimize your work because your era is the most important in the recent history of this Maison. Fortunately, we can still enjoy your designs and vision in other Maison.

FANTASTIC! I only wish we could return to the days of elegance, femininity and beauty! Thanks so much for that presentation!

I love Dior. Not just fashion house but legacy of fashion it self. And Christian Dior is a Legend.

I was there--as stunning as this video is, nothing compares to seeing those beautiful couture pieces up close and personal. The exhibition was absolutely masterful and breathtaking.

[MyVidStash]

Looking back, you can see Raf really understood the codes of the house. His pieces were so well-designed and executed and didn’t need gimmicks. That being said, I am also a fan of John, Gianfranco and Yves. They brought some excitement to the house and are true geniuses.

It's incredible to see all the celebrities at the Première astonished: they just look at those beauties, speechless. The eyes talk. Sometimes we just don't have the words.

Couture isn't art; it's applied art. But when it's executed at the level, with the perfection, we see here, and displayed so gloriously, it has the effect of art: it can move you deeply.

[gaiajeannev]

Not only did I relive my visit through this video, but I also integrated it by learning about the outstanding attention to details, craftsmanship and cooperation that went into it from the curator and the workers involved. I’m all the more in awe.

I want to be a fashion designer, and watching this is making me want to cry. It's beyond beautiful. Fashion is art, that is not painted on a canvas. Designers have the power to expresswhatever they want through their dresses. Whenerver I think my ideas are bizarre I see even bizarre but equally creative dress, and that's what makes me move forward. I know I would never become one, considering I have to financial support. But as long as I can keep on sketching my ideas on paper it's more than enough.

[Nickodecadence]

I can't @dior. Thank you, thank you for giving us a glimpse of the Apollonian glamor that your brand epitomizes! While all of us are confined in our houses, anxiously waiting for anything that will improve our condition; we are stripped out of our desires to dream and was forced to shift all our efforts to the basics of our existence, but yet you are there!! You are there shining ferociously amid the dark vastness of this desolate situation. This did not only give us hope, but that passion to continue dreaming uncontrollably, believing wickedly to ourselves.... that someday! Someday we will achieve what Dior has achieved

[adrianasilva]

This exhibition was simply amazing! Everyone that worked to make it a reality made an incredible job. Congratulations Dior!

[Ceelle]

I saw this exhibit with my daughter and we were both astounded by the beauty. We both smiled at how the French women in particular muscled their way to park themselves in front to study each seam! That is okay.. He was their designer genius, as was YSL.

[raeesabrey]

Absolutely stunning! I love how Raf's work honoured the past but was made for the modern woman. It really stood out from the rest.

[katlyon]

emotional moment to be able to vicariously enjoy the dior creations throughout the years. simply breathtaking

[ВалентинаФ-он]

Я в восхищении!
А реплика - " красотой нужно делиться", вызвала прекрасные эмоции!
Пусть красота ДОМА ДИОР процветает в нарядах женщин.

I love the beautiful work that Raf did in Dior's house. It was a truly representation of modern woman trough the vision of Raf with the channeling of style of the great creator Monsieur Dior. This documentary + exhibition are pieces of art. Thank you for sharing all this beauty while we make trough this hard times. It warms the heart.
