When I found out that Dior is collaborating with Harrods; I was excited and had to pay a visit to the world’s luxurious department store!! As a sisterly day out we dived into the Dior experience on the fourth floor of Harrods, where they showcased the art, craftmanship, history and beauty of what we all know of the Christian Dior brand.
They also exhibitited beautiful pieces worn by Diana, Princess of Diana, Audrey Hepburn; and the infamous gold dress from the Ja’Dore Dior parfum advert.
THese beautiful dresses are special creations in 2008 and 2011; the backless dress in nude silk chiffon, Belle Epoque gold necklace; and bustier dress with spaghetti straps in ivory silk crepe veiled with ivory tulle, all over gilt metal embroidery. Finally, the master piece of the Miss Dior handbag:
The exhibition drew to an end; educating us the very fine detail of every gown, the inspiration behind each quality piece; the adored Dior handbags and perfumes! We ended our tour by having lunch at the Dior Cafe and luckily, my sister have pre-booked, as not everyone can enjoy the drop in session at the cafe; as it was 100% pre-booked. Price tag was definitely bank breaking; but you can not put a price on experience! While welook beyond the prices; we enjoyed our white tea, canapes and lobster sandwich.
The verdict? It was so tasty! I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with my two sisters, Helen and Kit. This all exclusive event was breath-taking, taking up the whole high street windows for the Dior promotional launch.
I can not wait for another Harrods collaboration.
