The Lowdown
An exquisite collection of Christian Dior New Look ball gowns, day ensembles, and suits

The Gig
Dior: The New Look

The Scene
The opulence and femininity of Christian Dior's New Look revolutionized post-World War II fashion.
This exhibition situates the collection in a socio-cultural context but ultimately, it's all about those divine clothes.

Be warned: no clogs, splogs or Crocs in the presence of the Master's confections.

Cool, I'm likely to be in Chicago the week before it closes - is there a catalog for this exhibit?

Damn! I wish I had a Chicago trip planned! This sounds like a fantastic exhibition! Adore Dior!
