In partnership with the House of Dior, "Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris" tells the story of a widowed cleaning lady in 1950s London who falls madly in love with a couture Dior dress and decides that she must have one of her own. After she works, starves, and gambles to raise the funds to pursue her dream, she embarks on an adventure to Paris which will change not only her own outlook, but the very future of the House of Dior.
London, 1957. Mrs Harris, a lonely war widow and humble cleaning lady living a hand-to-mouth existence, has a chance encounter with what dreams are made of: a ravishing, A-line tea-length Christian Dior dress. And just like in the movies, modest Mrs Harris embarks on a romantic quest to purchase her first haute couture gown, determined to get her hands on a delicate, precious slice of perfection and live her own fairy tale. As one thing leads to another, Mrs Harris finds herself in seductive Paris, France, and the legendary House of Dior on picturesque Avenue Montaigne after a surge of good fortune, and a grand miracle is about to happen. Is anything possible if you only believe?—Nick Riganas
