J'adore Dior

Ok, I'm in Colorado now, but on Saturday before I left I went to the Dior exhibit at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. I was told that it was amazing by my very close friend at the blog Life as a Fashion "Nazi". She told me that I needed to go before summer because I would love it. So I decided to go, and it was even more amazing than I expected. The Pushkin Museum is one of Moscow's most famous museums, and even after living in Moscow for a year and a half, I had never been inside. They set up the exhibit exactly as I imagined it. As soon as you walked in there was a lit sign that said Dior at the top of a staircase leading up to a large room. The walls near the stairs were mirrors and had some of Christian Dior's famous quotes on them. They had shoes that he had designed in a glass case that I drooled over for about five minutes, and I hadn't even seen the dresses yet. Once I walked into the large hall, I was blown away. There were dresses on mannequins that were set up at the sides of the rooms, and art work was displayed to add to the ambiance. After seeing one set of ballgowns, my friend and I agreed that we should have been born in the 1950's. Then there was another set of dresses that were designed like the dresses of the last Queen of France, Marie Antoinette, and since we just studied the French Revolution, it was a bit ironic. They had one room that was completely dedicated to Dior perfumes such as Miss Dior Cherie, and J'adore. They had cases filled with vintage perfume bottles, and the most recent commercials playing on a loop on small screens. Needless to say, I found my new role model in large picture displayed at the end of the exhibit with two words on the description plaque underneath:
