Galliano's 3 Graces

Collier de Chien

Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom adopted dog collar chokers, called collier de chien to cover a small scar on her neck. For state and formal occasions, though, she plastered herself from head to waist in necklaces, tiaras, ribbons, sashes, and brooches of pearls, diamonds, and other jewels. Her long strings of pearls became her signature look.

Christian Dior disguised as "King of the Animals" at the Kings and Queens Ball in 1949
The exhibition is a tribute to Christian Dior himself, showcasing his talent and refinement, and his love of sumptuous costumes, expressed in creations for the grand balls of the post-war period. The couturier was part of myriad memorable events, including the 1949 Kings and Queens Ball, which he attended disguised as the "King of the Animals", the Bal des Artistes in 1956, for which he dressed as a dandy, or the Ball hosted by Charles de Beistegui at the Palazzo Labia in Venice in 1951.
