The Denver Art Museum is featuring: Dior: From Paris to the World, an exhibition featuring the history and design evolution of one of the world's renowned fashion houses. Now open to the public, the museum is to showcase over 200 couture garments, artworks, artifacts, accessories, jewelry, photographs, and more. With the exhibition being the fashion house's first retrospective in the United States, the design team at OMA and Shohei Shigematsu develop a visual timeline of Dior's iconic work that can be shared with its American audience.

OMA’s exhibition was designed to create a visual narrative of Dior's ethos and its long history of creativity and materiality. Spatial organization was key for the overall interiority of the space. Much influence was taken from the natural forms and contemporary design of the Hamilton Building. The museum pathways and display armature are complimentary of the building's exterior titanium cladding. Mimicking Dior's iconic silhouettes and textures, organic display forms were created to compliment the pieces. 

Stated by Shigematsu, "Objects shown in fashion exhibitions inherently possess a closer degree of connection to its visitors because of clothing's commercial nature, [...] This relationship gives architects an opportunity to be more experimental in exhibition design, to explore and establish new and immersive ways for people to engage with objects on display."

The exhibition runs through the museum transforming the Anschutz Gallery and Martin and McCormik Gallery into a visual time-capsule of  Dior fashion. On view until March 3, 2019, Dior: From Paris to the World aims to showcase the brand's design journey through color, art, and space.
