House of dior puts on the dog for 40th birthday by Birnadine Morris Newyork times tha House of dior a worldwide fashion Empire Slih annual sales of More than j700 million is celebrating i 40lh anniversary in Paris with i ill leering whirl of receptions ,1 grand dinner and a museum exhibition. The exhibition echoes ,1 fashion shot heard round the world on the morning of feb. 12,1947, Thiol Hay in the Salon of a new Couturier named Christ dior a curvy seductive Mil appeared As the first number of the Spring collection. It had a White silk jacket with rounded shoulders and a nipped a Lillne and the hips were lightly padded Over a Long pleated Black silk skirt what a new look exclaimed Caririe Snow the editor of Harper s Bazaar at the time. Indeed it was. The hourglass shaped suit called bar caught on and so did the styles that followed it. Not Only was Christian dior catapulted to the top rank of French Couturier with his first collection but Paris was returned to its place As a world fashion Center which 11 had lost to new York and los Angeles during world War ii. The anniversary Celebration started with a series of events at the beginning of the Spring and summer shows. An exhibition called homage to Christian dior was opened by president Francois Mitterrand at the museum of fashion arts on the Rue de revolt. Ii focuses on the 10 years when dior himself designed the collections which included such Catchy themes As the scissors Cut the High a line and the a line with its spreading skirt. After Lite designer s death he died of a heart Ratinck in l 57 at the age of 51 his 21-year-old assistant Yves Saint Lauren was put in charge. Later Saint Laurent left to Start his own House anal in 1960 Marc Bohan look the reins at dior. This year Bohan received the grand Vermeil medal of the City of Paris at the hotel de vile from Bernadette Chirac wife of Jacques Chirac the prime minister of France. The fashion museum is displaying 154 styles that dior designed but More glamorous than the display Are the photographs by Henry Clarke Irving Penn Louise Dahl Wolfe Henri a Trier Bresson and others which recall the Brittle elegance of the late 1940s and Early 50s. There Are working sketches by dior As Well As illustrations by such fashion artists As Rene Curau Rene Bouchoc Bernard Blossic and Nino Caprioglio. With the exception of some of the opulent evening dresses for which the House is known the Shi is disappointing. Because of the Small rooms in the museum the displays Are arranged vertically trending for five floors. The mannequins arranged in circles lend to look forlorn. The Day clothes on the top floor Are posed1 Tussy Watt of White dior Buuri looking fun Phat chm in dior the co Dittl dry. Like displays in a badly decorated department store. The models Are not grouped in any meaningful order so it is impossible to get a sense of the development of the designer s style. Still the opening scene is a knockout. Bar the silk suit that started it All. Is displayed in .1 Case alongside an awkward Chunky Tweed suit shown with cumbersome platform shoes. The Tweed suit is from the 1944 wartime collection of Lucien Telung for whom Christian dior worked before he started his own House. Bar represents a quantum leap Forward in the direction of style and elegance. The show which runs through ocl. 4, would be More meaningful if it did not Stop in 1957. Though some of the pours and tiers appear in different forms in today s fashions the clothes displayed Are not particularly relevant.
