A new exhibition at La Galerie Dior in Paris presents three decades and five artistic directors worth of photographs documenting the house of Dior

Fashion & Beauty: The photographer Peter Lindbergh, who died in 2019, spent 30 years documenting Christian Dior, through the work of five different living artistic directors, while delving backward to reanimate the archive of its founder, too. His first was a couture shoot for Vogue Paris in 1988; his last, an epoch-scrambling book spanning the entire then-71 year history of the house, commissioned by Dior in 2018. The body of work in the intervening years forms the spine of the fittingly titled Dior/Lindbergh exhibition. It opened this week at La Galerie Dior, the museum established in Dior’s historic headquarters at 30 Avenue Montaigne that, at 2,000 square metres, is the largest fashion-dedicated exhibition space in the city, branded or otherwise.
