Visiting La Galerie Dior had been on my Paris bucket list for such a long time, so finally experiencing it felt incredibly special.
After seeing everything, I confirmed once again that Christian Dior is undoubtedly my favorite designer, especially his creations from the 1950s and 60s.
My connection to Dior also goes back to my childhood. My aunt Elena, who is a doctor, introduced me to the world of fashion. She has always loved beautiful shoes, handbags and clothes. Growing up, I always heard the story of the green Christian Dior heels she bought with her very first salary as a doctor. They cost around 700 bolívares, and my grandmother was so upset with her for spending that much 😂
Seeing a very similar model at the gallery was incredibly emotional. It felt like a story I had heard my whole life was suddenly right there in front of me.
I also loved seeing the sketches, prototypes and the entire creative process behind every piece. To finish the visit, I stopped at the café and had a little date with myself. Just me, my coffee, no kids, taking my time and enjoying every detail of the exhibition.
And a special thank you to my sister for giving me that Friday to myself, filled with fashion, coffee and all the little things we love 🤍
One more dream checked off my Paris bucket list.
