Taking place from 20 June to 20 July at the Shanghai Sculpture Space, the House of Dior is celebrating the history of "Miss Dior", its first fragrance created by Monsieur Christian Dior in 1947, with an exhibition exploring the French luxury label's intimate connection to the world of art.

The exhibition sets to reinforce the link between Dior to artists, and Art.

It also gives carte blanche to 16 contemporary female artists who provide their own interpretations of the fragrance’s emblematic features. They pay homage not only to one of the greatest couturiers of all time, but also to the subversive spirit of a perfume which has taken its place in history.

With the Miss Dior exhibition, the artists have reinterpreted the codes of the house's very first perfume and its iconography with a contemporary zest.

Thus the houndstooth, the iconic motif that graces the Miss Dior flacon, is revisited in a rainbow-colored carpet by the American artist Polly Apfelbaum, while the knot that wraps around the perfume bottle stopper inspired the Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos to create a sensually curving sculpture.

In other works, the cannage motif, the rose, the adverts by René Gruau, and Tim Walker's portrait of Natalie Portman give way to new and original interpretations.

With this tribute exhibition, a new page has been written in the story uniting Dior and the artists of the world.
