The History of My Dior
The first My Dior collection was unveiled in 2012 and it has continued to grow ever since.
The cannage motif used resembles a weaving pattern seen on the Napoleon III chairs used across Christian Dior’s first shows. The pattern has come to reflect the heritage of the House.
This new collection uses it in the statement pendants and more playful colourful pieces such as the gold, diamond, and rainbow bracelet, showing the savoir-faire of the Ateliers.
In Other Dior News:
Dior have unveiled their latest high jewellery collection – Diorissima. Following on from last years standout Diorexquis collection Diorissima is a new collection of 141pieces. Shown at one of Italy’s most romantic settings amongst a backdrop of diamonds, gems and couture, the models wore the jewels alongside specially created gowns by Jonathan Anderson. Meanwhile a gala dinner and runway presentation transformed the Palazzo del Casinò into a glittering celebration of the house.
But for all the carved emeralds, pink spinels and seven-carat diamonds, the most fascinating story behind Diorissima is not about the jewels themselves. It’s about a forgotten chapter of Christian Dior’s life.
Dior describes the collection as a tribute to the art of collage and to the artists admired by Monsieur Dior. On first read of the press release this sounds like familiar luxury-house mythology. However, there was more to M. Dior than the ‘New Look’. Before he became Christian Dior the brand and fashion designer, Christian Dior was an art dealer.
