Dior / A new (out)look

Personal style | A Dior classic

This week I visited the Dior exhibition ‘A New Look’ at the Kunstmuseum in The Hague (you can visit until the 26th of January, 2025). The exhibition shows a mix of both modern and classical pieces and includes a stunning custom jewelry collection.

If you love embroidery, this exhibition offers an especially unique opportunity to view the stunning embroidery by Maison Lesage. The detailing is a feast for the eye:

If you love Dior and the artistic and craftsmanship that goes into making collections I recommend the documentary ‘Dior and I’ for a behind the seen glimpse of Raf Simons’ haute couture collection for Dior. At the exposition they showed this masterful piece by Raf Simons:

Raf Simons for Dior, haute couture, fall-winter 2012, Paris. (Material: silk, wool)

In terms of coffee table books I love this book about Christian Dior’s magnificent refuge in the South of France ‘The Chateau de la Colle Noir’. The book covers a lot of historic ground and insider knowledge of his time spent in the South of France:

Lastly, when it comes to my daily beauty regime I’m a big fan of Dior fragrances and their beauty line. Two of my current favorites are the new Dior Forever Skin Perfect stick foundation (easy application and an absolutely perfect finish!) and the Ambre Nuit Parfum which transports you to a scenery straight out of an Arabian Nights fairytale. Perfect for cozy winter nights.

Do you have any Dior favorites?

Love,
Jackie.
