World-renowned luxury French fashion house Christian Dior has announced the opening of its dynamic display “Designer of Dreams” at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.
The show will run for five months from December 21 to May 28, following its popular reception at the debuts in Paris, London, Shanghai, Chengdu, New York City and Doha.
The Tokyo display will feature a unique scenographic narrative created by Japanese architect Shohei Shigematsu, a partner at OMA. The exhibition will also be curated by art and fashion historian Florence Müller.
“We’re honoured to design a new spatial narrative within the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo that draws from Dior’s storied relationship to Japan as well as the country’s current cultural contexts to showcase Dior’s creative continuity in a new light,” said Shigematsu. “Our collaboration with Dior across multiple cities and venues has been an exciting opportunity to continuously rethink and recontextualise the retrospective in response to its specific, local setting, much like Christian Dior’s own global expedition and influence,” he added.
