A dose of French chic on display in Shanghai

Although it is certainly an intelligent marketing approach to establish Dior in the increasingly important Chinese market, the Espirit Dior exhibition in Shanghai is iconic and worth seeing.

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Shanghai is wrapped in a very special fashion glow these days, as it hosts Dior's Espirit Dior exhibition. An intelligent marketing approach? Definitely! But at the same time, an extremely interesting exhibition for all lovers of French chic and haute couture.

The exhibition is valid until November 10.
