Christian Dior was a French fashion designer whose name is still internationally famous. With respect if you want more information about the fashion label specifically there are other places I'm sure you can get that information in much more detail. This is about Barbie.

The first of the two Barbies in the Dior series was portrayed in an evening suit designed by, according to the Mattel advertisement, Gianfranco Ferre for Dior.

If this was a specific garment that was released separately than for Barbie unfortunately I have not been able to source a clear picture showing it - I've found many Dior and Gianfranco Ferre items that are similar, but none that are an exact match.

The second in the line was a 1940s throwback that has a very different, though no less elegant, style to it.

This in particular I was able to, quite easily, source a picture of the original garment: this is the Dior 1947 Bar Suit.

Pictured above as displayed in the Denver Art Museum.

Not only that, but the Barbie was released the celebreate the 50th anniversary of this look.

This iconic dress has been the subject of several reinterpretations among the different artistic directors of the House of Dior, John Galiano in 2010, Maria Grazia Chiuri in 2017. It is this same version that Natalie Portman wore during the last Cannes Film Festival in May 2023. Cette robe iconique a fait l'objet de plusieurs réinterprètation parmi les différents diresteur artistiques de la Maison Dior, John Galiano en 2010, Maria Grazia Chiuri en 2017. C'est cette même version que portait Natalie Portman lors du dernier Festival de Cannes en mai 2023.

A unique collection of photographs by Brigitte Niedermair, celebrating her original, creative collaboration with the House of Dior. Informed by her parallel paths as an artist and a photographer, Brigitte Niedermair expands the conventions and biases of the fashion image system. Her work focuses on representations of women's bodies in art and culture, with deeply constructed images and striking compositions that make for a distinctive style. This volume explores the remarkable relationship between Dior and Niedermair's aesthetic, resulting in photographs radiating a strong sense of unconventional femininity. The first section is devoted to the collaboration throughout the recent years, followed by a portfolio of exclusive images of historical and iconic Christian Dior creations. Captured with an analogic, classical technique in a five-by-four-inch format--which was used during photography's early beginnings--42 pieces from Dior archives are photographed twice, with each version of the image offering a unique perspective and revealing hidden details, such as the construction of the designs. With the principal essay by Olivier Gabet and contributions by Dior's creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, and artists and friends of Niedermair, this beautifully crafted book offers an extraordinary look into one of today's most fascinating creatives.

In 2017, to coincide with the NGV’s House of Dior: Seventy years of Haute Couture, two new couture works were commissioned for the fashion and textiles collection with funds donated by the David Richards Bequest and the F&T Supporters Group. 

Essence d’Herbier was commissioned by the NGV after Katie Somerville, Senior Curator Fashion and Textiles attended Maria Grazia Chiuri’s first Dior Couture show in Paris in January 2017. In July 2016, Chiuri became the seventh designer and first female artistic Director at Christian Dior and her couture debut coincided with the 70th anniversary of the house. 

As part of the acquisition process, documentary photography and film footage was taken in order to reveal some of the specialist techniques, tools and production methods specific to the making of couture garments and to give a behind-the-scenes-glimpse into the Dior ateliers.
