DIOR UNVEILS AN EXCLUSIVE EXHIBITION DEVOTED TO PETER LINDBERGH
From now until May 4th, 2025, La Galerie Dior in Paris pays tribute to Peter Lindbergh (1944-2019), one of the greatest photographers of his time, with a unique exhibition showcasing hundred of his shots of Dior models taken between 1988 and 2018. Throughout the various spaces, a narrative portrays the captivating dialogue with the House’s creations, from Christian Dior to Maria Grazia Chiuri.
Born in Leszno, Poland, in 1944, Lindbergh grew up in the German industrial city of Duisburg. After studying art in Krefeld, he opened his own studio in 1973, before moving to Paris, where he began contributing to leading magazines. Championing a naturalistic approach of beauty without artifice or filter, the photographer launched the era of the supermodel with images that have become iconic.
Unfolding through ten rooms, the display boasts photographs from legendary series, notably those for Vogue or Harper’s Bazaar, as well as previously unseen work. Additionally, a shoot carried out on the Streets of New York in 2018 will become publicly shown for the first time during the exhibition as well. “These streets provided the perfect backdrop for revealing unsuspected emotions,” said Lindbergh.
This retrospective of Lindbergh’s work for Dior shines a light on deep affinities: both the House and the photographer were committed to celebrating the singular allure of women.
