Le Bon Marché and Dior are celebrating the heritage of the legendary fashion house. As a friend and I attend an evening presentation of the mini-exhibition, it seems that, in the mist of all the Galliano buzz, nobody seems to care anymore. The subject has changed to where the Stella McCartney party is taking place later on that night.
We follow the crowd up to the highest floor and enter the world of Dior. A minimalist look into how much fashion changes, but yet remains the same. Sounds, videos and a virtual book revision us the most iconic pieces of the fashion house.
It is only than that we realise to be underdressed for the occasion. The women we are surrounded with seem to have done their shopping at 'Le Bon Marché' earlier that afternoon. Tutu's, LBD's and tropical inspired cocktail ensembles smack us in the face. The number of Lady Diors that have been united under one roof looks criminal, they must have been robbed earlier that evening from the Parisian Dior boutiques.
We both confirm to be officially underdressed, but do wonder if it's not these women that have taken a five minute fashion exhibition a little bit too seriously. Out off plain astonishment, we drag ourselves to the bar and decide to forget about the whole thing and get tipsy on Moët Chandon.
With refills from cute looking waiters, foie gras, eclairs and macarons brought to us while we spend the evening judging the scene from the designer couch that we took over - J'adore DIOR still seems to be the best way to resume the evening for us.
