Dior is part of the collective imagination. It is embedded in culture and popular culture. Initiating the recoding according to the view of Creative Director Jonathan Anderson – inside a room modeled on the velvet-lined interiors of Berlin’s Gemäldegalerie – is a programmatic act that speaks a language of understatement and poise. On the walls hang two modest yet beautiful paintings by Jean Siméon Chardin (1699-1779). At a time when art was often concerned with excess and spectacle, Chardin revered the everyday, trading grandeur for sincerity and empathy. A museum is a public space where conversations happen and history becomes part of the everyday. Museum rooms, occasionally, also host breathless, liberating and joyful runs amidst masterpieces.
