HANGZHOU, Sept. 2 -- An exhibition highlighting the fashion aesthetics of French fashion designer Christian Dior is held in Hangzhou, capital of east China's Zhejiang Province.

More than 100 items all dating back between 1947 and 1957, including printed publications, photos and videos, haute couture, accessories, fabrics, embroidery samples and design manuscripts, are on display at the exhibition, known as "Dior by Dior."
