GRAND PALAIS PARIS

November, 13 to 25 2013

Free exhibition open to the public

Miss Dior, Christian Dior’s first fragrance created in 1947, is as much a symbol as it is a myth. For the first time in its history, the House of Dior’s original scent and founding creation is the focus of a major exhibition.
To pierce the mystery of this unique fragrance and draw inspiration from the ideal young woman who embodies it, Dior has invited fifteen women artists from around the world to give free rein to their artistic expression.
This carte blanche has been given to the artists and to Miss Dior so the legend will continue, determinedly ready to welcome the future.
