Christian Dior | ‘Venus’ | 1949⠀ ———⠀ Joyeux Anniversaire, Christian Dior!⠀ ⠀ I can’t think of a better gown to wear to a 115th birthday fête worthy of Dior. ⠀ ⠀ Amidst the silvery spumelike net resembling sea foam, pearlescent shell-shaped scallops pronounce Venus risen from the waters. But Dior has not only evoked the story of Venus; he has also created an ideal of beauty. The sparkling splendor of such a garment is the dream of a ball gown. For Dior, fantasy was both marvelous and ideal. He strove to make an archetypal evening gown, but he was also creating the confections for the great postwar theme balls.
