A Dior exhibition recently opened its doors at the UCCA. The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing hosts the exhibition entitled “Christian Dior and Chinese Artists” until January 15th 2009.

The vast collection of provocative musings are accompanied with a selection of Dior haute couture fashion pieces.
