For over two decades, Victoire de Castellane has added a new dimension to French luxury as the artistic director of Dior joaillerie. “My Dior,” her latest collection, distills the essence and history of the maison into enduring keepsakes. Fashioned in white, yellow, and rose gold, the line’s rings, bracelets, and earrings meld seamlessly with the body—subtle when worn separately, or striking when stacked together.
Prominent in the maison’s latest offering is, of course, the cannage pattern—featured in the leather of the legendary Lady Dior bag and inspired by the woven rattan chairs on which Christian Dior himself hosted guests who visited his Avenue Montaigne salon. It’s de Castellane’s memories that translate this heritage into a modern vision: Models clad in all-black with a signature red lip and nails pay homage to the timeless sophisticate, the woman that de Castellane herself recalls seeing when traversing the house’s boutiques as a child. It’s the designer’s tribute to the Dior woman—now and forever.
