### A Transcription of the Journey

“Welcome to the world of Dior. I love teeny tiny things. I have worn that dress. You have to guess how many objects we have on these walls. 404 100. 1000, 874. It’s quite an introduction, isn’t it? Yes. May I present to you The Bar suit. 1947. Okay, Spring summer. Good job. Thank you.”

“See, I told you – a proper nerd. And it’s crazy how modern it still is. Extremely modern. This is mitzah, mitzah, mitzah, mitzah, mitzah, right? Exactly. Look at the sleeve. I know. It’s called the Zig-Zag line. It’s just stunning. And it’s interesting because standing completely still, it still has this movement.”

“You can see that it’s meant to be worn. Yeah. It’s feminine, but it’s tough. I cannot believe that this is a lipstick case. It kind of comes back to that idea of things are built to last. This way. After you. Oh, thank you. This is Maria Grazia’s first collection, right? No way. Galliano. Gianfranco Ferré. Oh, my goodness! Of course. And then Yves Saint Laurent. Exactly. Gotta love a hat. Got to love a hat. Yeah, I grew up a real tomboy. I came to fashion through characters. The magic of being able to put on clothes and suddenly see somebody completely different in the mirror. Hello. You were very good to me. I appreciate your dress. It’s kind of strange seeing her behind glass. The way that I’ve been able to dress myself for the red carpet, that also helps me because I’ve become a kind of different character in that instance, too. Wow, that’s it. That’s you. Are you trying to steal it? Obviously I’ll steal everything. Don’t I look like someone who doesn’t want to be noticed? That is crazy. We didn’t change anything from Mr Dior’s time. Do you want to see it from below? Yes, I have the key. Oh, my goodness. Yes, let’s go. This is so crazy! You have no idea how much of a history buff I am. Welcome. Oh, this is insane. It’s a bit like the heart of the house. So this is where all the models were working and they were all dressed up in this cabin. You can imagine all of the chattering and the kind of bon vivant energy that’s around here. You know what’s interesting is that during the time, models would do their makeup themselves. They’re so sweet. But you know what’s also exciting about this is because they’re refillable and they have different bottle tops, pieces now doing the same thing with Dior Addict. They all have the different- Exactly. They have the little like dresses for the different lipsticks, which is — it’s just, it’s gorgeous. Hello. It’s strange, and it’s also something that I really love about Mr. Dior’s idea of fashion is that he wanted women to feel beautiful. Oh my God! Stop it. Okay, this is… It’s like an interpretation of Juno. Juno was a Goddess. Oh, Juno. Yes, gorgeous. It really is special just to be able to walk around. And I think people would be really surprised as to how it translates to modern day. It’s really stayed classically within its essence, but it’s just so modern.”
