Dior Joaillerie unveils its latest masterpiece, the My Dior collection, a dazzling homage to the House's iconic cannage pattern. Victoire de Castellane, Artistic Director of Dior Joaillerie, reimagines this timeless motif in a series of exquisite jewelry pieces, declaring, "My Dior is my very own maille."
The cannage pattern, which first adorned the Napoleon III chairs in Christian Dior's haute couture salons for his 1947 debut show, now graces a stunning array of rings, earrings, and bracelets. This graphic element, with its harmonious lines echoing the founding couturier's architectural inclinations, has become a symbol of Dior's enduring elegance.
Crafted with unparalleled precision, the collection features an intricate interweaving of gold threads, mimicking meticulously intertwined strands of straw. The Ateliers' exceptional craftsmanship brings to life monochrome and two-tone versions in yellow, rose, and white gold, some lavishly paved with diamonds.
De Castellane's innovative spirit shines through in the fusion of gold and lacquer, a signature technique that elevates select pieces. This collection not only showcases the virtuosity of Dior's artisans but also reflects the Artistic Director's boundless creativity, inspired by her childhood memories of the Dior boutique and its refined clientele.
The My Dior collection, available in Dior boutiques from October 15th, stands as a multi-faceted celebration of traditional jewelry-making skills and the timeless allure of Dior style. Prices range from $3,150 for classic gold pieces to $29,500 for diamond-encrusted designs, offering a spectrum of options for Dior enthusiasts and fine jewelry patrons.
