Qatar Museums is currently presenting Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams1 at M72 in Msheireb Downtown Doha, on view until March 31st, 2022. It is the first fashion exhibition of its ambition and scale in the Middle East and has been reinvented anew following successful presentations at prestigious museums in Paris, London, Shanghai, and New York. The retrospective, which features a selection of pieces that are being shown for the first time, includes ensembles from the private collection of Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, a long-standing client of Christian Dior Couture. To the rhythm of a new scenographic narrative designed by Nathalie Crinière, the exhibition, specially conceived for Qatar and curated by Olivier Gabet3, celebrates nearly seventy-five years of creative passion, punctuated by captivating haute couture dresses and works from the collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
1This exhibition – always reinterpreted according to host countries and cultural affinities – has been hosted by the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Long Museum West Bund in Shanghai, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chengdu and the Brooklyn Museum in New York, where it is currently on display.
