Dior Unveils Latest High Jewelry Collection Diorissima
At the heart of the Palazzo del Casinò, an emblematic palace of renowned Art Deco elegance, Victoire de Castellane unveils her new haute joaillerie collection – Diorissima – in a sumptuous tribute to La Serenissima. Abstraction and naturalism merge in an interplay of precious metamorphoses, exalting both Dior’s unique heritage and the magnificence of Venice.
Illuminated by the Lido and the reflections of the lagoon, this exceptional collection depicts three enchanting worlds – lush vegetation, aquatic depths and mysterious constellations – extolling nature’s diverse beauty, the passion for superstition and the magic of dreams, all values and universes dear to Christian Dior.
By turns, clover, wisteria, bunches of fruit, algae-covered seabeds, coral and bubbles appear, as well as suns, eclipses and ‘happy clouds’. A whole host of fabulous, whimsical cabinets of curiosities come alive through the excellence of Dior’s jewellery savoir-faire. Unexpected combinations of dazzling gemstones and vibrant colours unfold down to the finest, virtuoso details.
This magical spectacle is further enhanced by the silhouettes of Creative Director Jonathan Anderson, who for the first time has turned his hand to designing haute couture creations that magnify these jewelled compositions: a selection of bustier dresses, draped pieces, flowing suits, micro-pleated chiffons and flourishes of velvet, organza and pearls.
A captivating dialogue between Dior and Venice, fusing creative joy and the quintessence of exceptional artisanship.
“I created this collection as an ode to life, an expression of joie de vivre. When Christian Dior founded his House, he probably imagined that we could once again celebrate the joy of life, and, for me, all these jewels are like little living creatures, little odes to life that inhabit an ideal world in a joyful garden, a sort of Paradise” says Victoire de Castellane, Artistic Director of Dior Joaillerie.
