Dior’s Roman Night
ROME — The Romans felt it was a special occasion and clusters of curious onlookers gathered near the red carpet rolled out in front of the Teatro dell’Opera in the Italian capital on Thursday evening. The occasion was the premiere of the “Philip Glass Evening.” This included “Nuit Blanche” with costumes by Dior artistic director Maria Grazia Chiuri. The designer was supported by longtime friends Silvia Venturini Fendi and Frida Giannini, as well as Chiara Ferragni — and it was easy to lose count of the selfies the latter was asked to pose for by guests. Fendi chairman and chief executive officer Serge Brunschwig — previously at Dior Homme — was also in attendance, with Pietro Beccari, Dior’s current chairman and ceo. After the performance, guests gathered for a cocktail event at the workshops where sets for the Teatro dell’Opera are made, dotted with red velvet settees, filled with flowers juxtaposed with statues, paintings, armor and other miscellaneous set props. And, always a plus in Rome, there was a stunning view over the evening skyline. The program of three ballets performed by the opera’s dancers and orchestra will run until April 2. The performances kicked off Thursday night with “Hearts & Arrows” with choreographyFollow WWD on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.
