Championing women has been Maria Grazia Chiuri’s fil rouge since her 2016 Dior debut, featuring a white T-shirt emblazoned with the words “We Should All Be Feminists”—a reference to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s seminal essay of the same name. It’s only fitting, then, that La Galerie Dior, the brand’s exhibition space, is now showcasing a selection of enchanting and thought-provoking works by female artists including Niki de Saint Phalle, Judy Chicago, and Claude Lalanne, among many others.
At La Galerie Dior until May 13, 2024
Stage luminaries, and the jewelry they wore
For its first exhibition in its 18th-century headquarters at Hôtel de Mercy-Argenteau, the Van Cleef & Arpels-backed School of Jewelry Arts is joining forces with the legendary Comédie-Française to showcase jewelry worn onstage by talents ranging from Sarah Bernhardt—the first superstar in the world—to François-Joseph Talma, whose acting career Napoleon personally championed. Expect 120 props, works of art, documents, and more artfully displayed throughout the Constance Guisset-designed rooms when it opens later this year.
