The Brooklyn Museum’s Dazzling Dior Exhibit Is An Absolute Dream, & It’s Closing Soon

The Brooklyn Museum opened a Dior-centered exhibit in September, titled “Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams.”

The exhibit is a must-visit for fashion lovers, as it features over 200 haute couture garments as well as photographs, archival videos, sketches, vintage perfume elements, and accessories, and features works from the Museum’s collection! Most items come directly from the Dior archives, and here’s a sneak preview into some of the gorgeous installations:
