Dior at Sky Vanke Plaza — D&I LVMH/DIOR Sustainable Fashion Course (2022)

Sky Vanke Plaza in Shanghai hosted a five-day exhibition of sustainable fashion course work by D&I with LVMH/DIOR.

The venue

Sky Vanke Plaza is a shopping mall in Shanghai. Its public retail environment includes circulation areas and open commercial floors that can accommodate temporary cultural displays alongside everyday shopping. The record does not specify the exact zone, dimensions, or configuration used for this exhibition. It is a venue normally used for retail, dining, and leisure visits rather than for museum-style exhibitions.

How the space was used

During the project, the mall hosted a five-day presentation of student work from a sustainable fashion course developed with LVMH/DIOR. The record identifies the dates and venue but does not detail the exhibition zones, display structures, or visitor route. The course outcomes were therefore shown within the mall’s public commercial setting rather than in a dedicated gallery.

Why it works here

Shopping malls suit short-run educational and cultural displays because they place exhibits within existing public circulation and draw visitors who are already shopping. A five-day course presentation can use such space without needing a dedicated gallery, while reaching passers-by beyond a specialist fashion audience.
