All you need to know about Dior’s Pre-Fall 2025 collection:
Showcased at the historic Toji Temple, the collection unfolded with an exploration of heritage and reinvention—focusing on the art and beauty of kimonos, enchanting gardens sketched on silk and colour gradients—that bridges the gap between Japanese savoir-faire and French couture. The collection sees the likes of delicately embroidered flowers, bird motifs and Japanese gardens brought to life—showcasing the sartorial habits of the world’s cultures.
With varying textures of fabrications and colour palette, this is a metamorphic collection where captivating narratives of bomber jackets, wide leg pants, long skirts, off-the-shoulder black sweaters and co-ord sets make an appearance with floral patterns and inlay of golden embroideries. The looks crafted by Maria Grazia Chiuri for the collection express the fundamental symbiosis linking French tailoring savoir-faire and the principles specific to kimono construction.Playing with lengths, as well as effects of volume and texture, the jackets embody this alchemical encounter.
Further exalting powerful ties with Japan, Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri keeps true to her commitment to collaboration with local artisanal communities by partnering with the historic Tastsumura Textile atelier, master dyer Tabata Kihachi and the Fukada family’s specialists in traditional dyeing techniques to create standout looks.
At the heart of it all, the collection is a bountiful selection of pieces that echoes the spirit of couture while shining a spotlight on exceptional craftsmanship interlaced elegantly with Dior’s modern and feminine outlook and its strong link with Japan.
