Celebrate " Dandyism" at the Dior Family Home

Diormuseum The Dior Museum on the Normandy coast at Granville has staged an exhibition celebrating Dandyism. 

One of the exhibits includes a white shirt belonging to Oscar Wilde, dating from when he was living in penniless exile, in a seedy Paris hotel (known now as the "hip" L'Hotel re-designed by Jaques Garcia, who has apparently taken down the notorious wallpaper).


"Dandysmes, 1808-2008" runs from May 1 to September 30 at Les Rhumbs,  Musée Christian Dior, in Granville.
