Spanning 1947 to the present day, this exhibition traces the history and impact of one of the 20th century’s most influential couturiers, exploring the enduring influence of the fashion house, and Dior’s relationship with Britain.

This is the largest and most comprehensive exhibition ever staged in the UK on the house of Dior. Spanning to the present day, Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams traces the history and impact of the couturier, and the six artistic directors who have succeeded him at his namesake brand, in what is the museum’s biggest fashion exhibition since Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty in 2015. Dresses on display include Princess Margaret’s 21st birthday dress to Jennifer Lawrence’s red-carpet couture. Tickets from £20. 

Tickets to Dior have gone on sale through the V&A’s website, but more will be released on the 15th of every month for the next four weeks. A limited number are available for sale at the museum from 10am every morning.
