This season, Denver, Colorado is rolling out the red carpet in honor of haute couture. Beginning on Monday, November 19, the Denver Art Museum will serve as the home to the latest Dior exhibit, Dior: From Paris To The World. The exhibit, which will be in town for three months, spans 70 years of the iconic House of Dior’s fashion legacy and global influence.

The exhibit features a selection of more than 200 couture dresses plus accessories, costume jewelry, photographs, drawings, and runway videos. The exhibit highlights pivotal moments in the House of Dior’s past and focuses on how Christian Dior made history by cementing his fashion house’s reputation in under a decade.

This exhibition is organized by the Denver Art Museum (DAM) and curated by Florence Müller, the DAM’s Avenir Foundation Curator of Textile Art and Fashion. It features exhibition design by internationally renowned architect Shohei Shigematsu, principal of OMA New York.

In celebration of the fashion experience, several of Denver’s luxury hotel properties are offering guests the opportunity to experience both Denver and Dior in style. These Dior-inspired packages are perfect for visitors in town for the exhibit or for fashion-lovers looking to dive further into Denver’s art scene.

The Ramble Hotel takes inspiration from French salons of the 17th century with its name serving as a nod to Catherine de Vivonne, Marquise de Rambouillet. The hotel invites guests for a night of vintage-inspired joie de vivre. Their “Chauffeur to Dior” package includes chauffeur service in a vintage Rolls Royce for four hours, transportation to and from the exhibit, dinner, shopping, as well as a two night suite-stay and a customized in-room Dior inspired shopping experience.

Presented by vintage jewelry extraordinaire, Dan Sharp, guests have the opportunity to purchase from a collection of vintage, one-of-a-kind, signed Dior jewelry pieces curated personally from Sharp’s travels to Paris, and accessorize with the designer’s baubles for the night at the museum.

Pre-show drinks will await your ascent in the hotel’s grand lobby. The “Ginette” cocktail, named in honor of Christian Dior’s sister Mademoiselle Catherine Dior‘s given name, was created by the world-renowned Death & Co.. Using the unique notes of the Miss Dior scent (for which Catherine Dior was the muse), the cocktail is gin-based, accented with crème de rose, sherry, grapefruit, jasmine aroma and served in a vintage glass alongside a perfume atomizer for garnish.

A selection of Dior perfume and cologne will also be displayed for guests to use in their suite’s in-bathroom vanity.
