The Story

*[Dior: Crafting Fashion](https://www.scadfash.org/exhibitions/exhibition-dior-crafting-fashion)* is the first presentation of the House of Dior in the Southeastern United States, organized exclusively by Christian Dior Couture in partnership with SCAD and curated by Hélène Starkman, Cultural Projects Director and Exhibitions Curator for Dior. The show pulls nearly one hundred archival pieces - several never before publicly exhibited - across seven thematic galleries that trace the maison from Christian Dior's 1947 "New Look" to current Artistic Director Jonathan Anderson, the first designer to lead both Dior's women's and men's collections since the founder himself. *Fashionista* notes the [exhibition lands ahead of Dior's 80th anniversary](https://fashionista.com/2026/04/scad-fash-museum-dior-crafting-fashion-exhibit); the SCAD-Dior collaboration follows 2025's *Christian Dior: Jardins Rêvés* at SCAD's Lacoste campus in Provence, which drew record-breaking attendance. [ArtsATL's Robert Stalker singled out the central gallery](https://www.artsatl.org/scad-fashs-dior-crafting-fashion-exhibit-tracks-couture-through-the-ages/), *The Dior Gardens*, as the exhibit's breathtaking centerpiece - flowers suspended from the ceiling, gowns bathed in pink light - and praised the curatorial choice to recast underappreciated designers: architect-trained Gianfranco Ferré's 1996 embroidered silk evening gown, and Maria Grazia Chiuri (Dior's first female creative director) revealed as a masterly couturier beyond her slogan T-shirts. The exhibit closes with *Stars in Dior*, a room dedicated to Hollywood adopters from Rita Hayworth and Elizabeth Taylor to Marlene Dietrich (who reportedly told producers, "No Dior, no Dietrich") and includes John Galliano's 1996 Diana slip dress. We’ve secured a private docent tour for our group. **Event Plan** **11:00 – Brunch** – [The Hive](https://hivebuckhead.com/) (confirmed) * Address: 1845 Peachtree Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30309 * The restaurant
