  • Dossier De Presse Expo Dior
    EXPOSITION DIOR musée du président Jacques Chirac 1er février – 15 avril 2010 Dior, la passion créatrice L’exposition Dior présentée au musée du président Jacques Chirac est composée d’une trentaine de robes de haute couture des années 1947 à 1951 (créées par Christian Dior) et 1997 à 2009 (créées par John Galliano). Parmi elles figurent notamment la robe Ciao Ci San (2007) de l’affiche, une robe 2008 portée par Marion Cotillard et la robe 2009 portée par Monica Bellucci au Festival de Cannes. L’exposition comprend également une douzaine de flacons et coffrets de parfum, des croquis de Christian Dior et des photos de grands photographes de mode. La scénographie de l’exposition est due à René Bouchara Design. L’exposition a été conçue par huit collaborateurs de la maison Christian Dior : Olivier Bialobos, Frédéric Bourdelier, Daphné Catroux, Gérald Chevalier, Barbara Jeauffroy-Mairet, Philippe Le Moult, Vincent Leret et Soizic Pfaff. Le musée Christian Dior à Granville a aimablement participé à l'exposition. Un catalogue produit par le musée accompagne l’exposition. Il a été réalisé par la maison Christian Dior, avec des textes de Nathalie Fraser, Vincent Leret et Soizic Pfaff. En voici quelques extraits. LE FONDATEUR Christian Dior naît le 21 janvier 1905 à Granville, en Normandie, dans une famille bourgeoise aisée qui déménage à Paris lorsqu’il a cinq ans. Ses parents imaginent pour lui une carrière de diplomate ; il abandonne donc son rêve de devenir architecte et s’inscrit à Sciences Po. Mais ce n’est qu’une parade : le jeune homme, habitué des milieux artistiques, ouvre en 1928 avec des amis une première galerie d’art contemporain, où il expose le travail de Georges Braque, Fernand Léger, Maurice Utrillo, Aristide Maillol, Raoul Dufy, et de proches comme Max Jacob, Léonor Fini, Salvador Dali et Christian Bérard.

The genre, which began with the arrival of Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) on Fox Broadcasting Network, focuses on portrayals of different subsets of teenagers in their school, family and interpersonal lives. Sometimes called the “teen soap opera,” the genre is subject to the scrutiny and dismissiveness often reserved for media located in the realm of women’s entertainment. Through comparative discourse and textual analysis bounded in socio-cultural consideration of each temporal cycle, this thesis asserts that close attention to this genre can valuably articulate approaches to racial representational strategies.
