EXCLUSIVE: Take A Private Tour Of The Dreamy New Dior Exhibition With Singer Mabel

If you've been mourning the Alexander McQueen exhibition ever since it closed, then the arrival of the new Christian Dior: Designer Of Dreams Exhibition will be an actual gift.

Giving us an exclusive sneak peek from behind the scenes is Dior darling and songstress du jour, Mabel. The offspring of musical legends Neneh Cherry and Massive Attack's Cameron McVey, at just 22-years-old Mabel is already a Brit-award nominated artist with an enviable designer wardrobe.

'My first memory of fashion and make-up is definitely watching my mum getting ready for events - she was always really really glamorous,' the 'Finders Keepers' singer recalls. 'I remember being amazed by thigh high boots and I still love them.' Her style inspiration? 'Growing up I love Aaliyah because she did sexy in such an interesting way. She was boyish but it didn't make her any less sexy.'

And when your parents are music industry icons, it's almost inevitable that you'd inherit a natural sense of style. In fact, the Spanish-born Brit loved her beauty from the off, 'I was really into lipstick when I was younger. I remember being five years old and thinking "I can’t wait to put some red lipstick on, that’s going to be the best day of my life." Turns out, red lipstick just isn’t for me, sad times! I’m more of a nude lip kinda girl!'

Adding friend of Dior to her already impressive CV, Mabel took us on a private tour of the dreamy new V&A exhibition, and even let us behind-the-scenes as she got ready before the big event...
