Dior's Carousel of Dreams at Saks Holiday Windows
This holiday season, Saks and Dior have transformed Fifth Avenue with Dior's Carousel of Dreams at Saks. The captivating installation takes over all 10 stories of the NYC Flagship, showcasing an extraordinary sculptural façade which transforms into a magnificent light show every evening. Additionally, each of the windows showcases intricately created scenes of New York and Paris highlighting Monsieur Dior's dream journey from his home of France to New York City.
Iconic landmarks of New York City and Paris decorate the windows, recreated in great detail by miniaturists from around the world: The Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Jardin du Luxembourg, Dior’s historic flagship on Avenue Montaigne, the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, Rockefeller Center and the Saks Fifth Avenue NYC Flagship are each represented within the windows.
Monsieur Dior’s dream trip from Paris to New York in 1947 serves as the inspiration for the windows, which are intricately designed by a collective of artisans sourced from all over the world. Monsieur Dior is seen going on a journey from Paris to NYC within the windows, with each one serving as a stop along the way.
Throughout the windows, miniature scenes recount the history of Dior and Monsieur Dior's journey to New York in September, 1947. Onlookers can take in stunning mise-en-abyme effects, including a small-scale version of Dior’s Carousel of Dreams at Saks façade installation. Every street scene or landmark is reproduced with the most minute details.
