The upcoming #Oscars and has us dreaming of #Dior - much like the title character of Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris*, whose costume designer Jenny Beavan is nominated for Best Costume Design! 👗
Luckily, we have an in-house expert in the subject, Dr. Alexandra Palmer, Senior Curator, Global Fashion & Textiles (Europe & North America), who chatted with us about haute couture history, and how realistic the dream of Dior would have been for a working-class person in the 1950s.
*For those who haven’t seen it, this feel-good story follows a London housecleaner Ada Harris who falls in love with the Christian Dior gown of one of her clients and makes a solo journey to the House of Dior in Paris to fulfill her dream of owning one herself.

The Sundridge Curtain is an example of silk screening, which was a modern technique that allowed for a cheaper setup for designers! This way, they could experiment in a more affordable way.
