Signatures
Ever since her first high jewelry collection for Dior, Artistic Director Victoire de Castellane has been dreaming up creations that echo the world of the founding-couturier. The Diorexquis, Dior Milly Dentelle, and Diorama lines embody true magic. They combine couture spirit, nature, and abstract art. The garden at Milly-la-Forêt inspires abundant floral compositions. Lace, braiding, and textile elements enhance the jewelry. Its shapes mingle geometry and asymmetry in a bold interplay of proportions. Nuances and contrasts define the rhythm of each creation. Ingenious and artisanal, this jewelry aesthetic renews the codes and reinvents the very essence of Dior.
Diorexquis
With Diorexquis, Victoire de Castellane envisions wonderful worlds inspired by Christian Dior's passions. Each creation offers a fresh reinterpretation of a poetic code: a lush garden, a miniature haute couture salon or a dazzling bouquet. The interplay of shapes and layers showcases shimmering stones, evoking the richness of life. The Artistic Director and the Ateliers combine craftsmanship and innovation to bring these unique pieces to life.
Dior Milly Dentelle
The Dior Milly Dentelle line is the fruit of couture spirit and the fresh vitality of gardens. Inspired by Christian Dior's estate in Milly-la-Forêt, Victoire de Castellane conjures up a luminous landscape. Finely chiseled gold lace unfolds, punctuated with diamonds and gemstones in glowing colors. These joyful, daring jewelry creations relate a precise process, where technical skill and expertise are engaged in a captivating dialogue. Each unique piece is like a sketch in a reinvented herbarium.
Diorama
With Diorama, Victoire de Castellane reinterprets the toile de Jouy fabric that decorated the walls of Colifichets, the first historic boutique at 30 Montaigne that opened 1947.
This classic design is transformed into dioramas: miniature scenes inspired by the gardens of Milly-la-Forêt.
Each creation is brought to life through the interplay of volume, light, and detail. This collection reveals contemporary artisanship, creating a subtle dialogue between flora and fauna.
