#PerfectDiaries: Evie Henderson’s 24 hours in Paris, discovering Monsieur Dior’s legacy and her favourite foodie spots.
Evie Henderson is coming along for the ultimate girls trip to Paris. Jumping on the Eurostar across the Channel for two days filled with exploration of Monsieur Dior’s history and creative collaborations, she packed us away in her carrier bag to become a fly on the wall for the weekend, and get to know more about her getting ready rituals, and her favourite spot in Paris.
As we spend 24 hours in the core of Dior’s history, Henderson takes us further to La Galerie Dior, the Maison housing over 70 years of couture history, from the very beginnings of Monsieur Dior’s ateliers under the eaves of 30 Avenue Montaigne, transformed all the way through the global fashion house it is today. Taking each moment and walking us through it, the Dior headquarters have been a testament to the visionary boldness of Christian Dior and his six successors: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons, and Maria Grazia Chiuri.
Going along to discover her favourite parts, Evie takes Perfect inside her Lady Dior bag and into the Parisian night alongside Misty Heath, Tish Weinstock Heloise Agostinelli and Maddie Waterhouse for some dancing and immersion into fashion history.

18:00: About to get ready for a lovely night here in Paris. I am thinking of using my new Dior eye pallet which creates the perfect smokey eye.
18:45: This is always the hardest part of the night! Trying on this stunning top deciding what to wear tonight.
19:00: The choice is too hard! In-between outfits in my Dior silk bra which is almost tempting to wear alone!
19:30: After going back and forth a few times, I finally decided on an outift and now waiting for our car with my new beloved Lady Dior bag! I love it.
19:45: Here we are! Arriving to my favourite restaurant in Paris, Le Voltaire.
22:00 Such a lovely night with friends!
09:00: It’s the next morning, and today we are heading to the iconic La Galerie Dior, wearing my new Lady Dior and favourite Dior jacket.
11:00: It feels so surreal exploring and admiring all the work of Christian Dior’s creative directors, and the new exhibition championing the many collaborations with women artists.
