Majestic Scotland

Unveiled in the sumptuous gardens of Drummond Castle – an architectural and historical treasure – the Dior cruise 2025 collection writes an eloquent new chapter of the legendary story that unites Dior with Scotland.

Lyrical Beauty

A plural ode to Scotland's culture and diverse traditions, the Dior cruise 2025 show opened to the sound of Brìghde Chaimbeul's bagpipes. Bewitching, almost mystical sounds also closed the show, to the tune of a striking performance led by players from the National Piping Centre, under the guidance of composer Oliver Coates.

Odes To Mary Stuart

Inspired by Scottish craft traditions and the iconic figure of Mary Stuart, the silhouettes reinvent the look of the visionary sovereign, from romance to punk, tartan to corset-armor, dresses with accentuated shoulders to tweed sets and prodigious couture embroidery, echoing that of Holyrood Palace*. Between celebration and transgression(s), the iconic Argyle motif is unveiled in a fine open-work version; emblematic Fair Isle lace is modernized with a subtle interplay of material and transparency; crinolines are boldly revisited, punctuated by elements borrowed from counter-cultures. All these reinterpreted textile symbols marvelously revive the founding ties between France and Scotland.

Punk Attitude

Poetic and all-conquering, the silhouettes designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri for the Dior cruise 2025 show are enhanced by accessories that convey a powerful, impetuous femininity. Worn with high socks, leather riding boots are adorned with zips and multiple straps, promising a confident, determined gait. Inspired by traditional sporran, kilts are worn with saddlebags emblazoned with the initials “CD”. A tribute to the customs that make Scotland so rich, the bags' shoulder straps are decorated with heraldic symbols that combine the House's emblems with those of this fascinating country. Wonderful finishing touches include necklaces with delicate black ribbons and pendants featuring marine motifs, a poetic evocation of the seas that shape the beauty of coastal landscapes.
