You know how I feel about going into Brooklyn (no one should ever need to go to Brooklyn), but this exhibit makes it fully worth the trek. The Dior exhibit is on until February 2022 and if you’ve ever enjoyed the fashion exhibits put on at The Met, then you’ll absolutely love this collection.

“With objects drawn primarily from the Dior archives, the exhibition includes a vast array of over two hundred haute couture garments as well as photographs, archival videos, sketches, vintage perfume elements, accessories, and works from the Museum’s collection.”

Here were my very favourites pieces in the collection (included in the captions are the places I would wear them to).

Perfect dress for hiding the most obscene lingerie you’ve ever seen, the ideal ensemble for an illicit affair that exclusively happens in hotel rooms

Obviously what I’d wear for the baptism of my godchild

What I’d wear to my daughter’s debutante ball

To the funeral of my third husband, the one I truly loved

An elegant home brunch at Elton John’s house

Returning wedding gifts somewhere in Europe

Searching for seashells with my toes on a beach in the Amalfi Coast

Accepting my humanitarian of the year award, no bra.

To a PTA meeting in 1959 while the other mothers gossip about how I probably can’t cook

Obviously a New Years Eve party, this is just common sense

Can you see why I love going to these exhibits? How can you not imagine where you’d wear each beautiful piece you see? In any case, you really should go. Tickets available over here.
