Dior Shoes, Handbags and Jewellery







'Maintenon' necklace by Henkel & Grosse for Christian Dior for Spring-Summer 1956.
made of multi-coloured glass tones, pastes and metal, on loan from Dior Héritage, Paris 


Lily of the Valley necklace was made for the House of Dior in 1950 by the legendary Maison Gripoix, which also designed costume jewellery for Chanel, Balenciaga and later Yves St. Laurent and Christian Lacroix; on loan Carole Tanenbaum


Miss Dior Eau de Toilette - highly superstitious, Christian Dior loved the lily-of-the-valley, a symbol of happiness that heralded the arrival of spring and the haute couture

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
