Junon and Venus: Dior's Famous Sister Gowns from 1949-50

For his 1949/1950 line, Christian Dior designed a set of sister gowns to be promotional items for the I. Magnin & Company department store in San Francisco. In the heyday of the department store, I. Magnin in San Francisco reigned supreme. What was shown in the display windows of I. Magnin dictated what high style was.

Right: Venus: Four pleats of organza line the top of the simple, strapless bodice.  Bodice and skirt are made of white silk and white sequins with a simple ribbon waistband.

Left: Junon: Diaphanous layers of silk tulle, with glittering (plastic) sequin embroidery on curved, ombréed flounces are meant to evoke the feathers of the goddess Juno's favorite bird - the peacock.

The sisters live at the De Young Museum in San Francisco. Before they are shipped for exibition elsewhere, they undergo extensive evaluation by garment conservation experts. They are so fragile due to the sequins and stitching, that when they're required for an exhibition, they must be left on the maniquin to be moved, so that handling them does not disturb the fragile materials. Upon arrival at their destination, Juno and Venus are immediately put in glass cases.

I have yet to see another designer who plays with Lace and layering in a surreal way other than Simone Rocha,

I love her aesthetic so much.
