MAISON

At each of his fashion shows, held in the salons of 30 Avenue Montaigne, Christian Dior would seat guests on elegant Napoleon III-style chairs with seats decorated in canework, a graphic code that has become an iconic House emblem.

Christian Dior’s beloved timeless signature, Toile de Jouy, which is constantly reinvented, now adorns the Dior Maison creations as a tribute to the founding couturier. 

An invitation to set off on a bucolic journey, revisiting the poetic natural universe imagined by Maria Grazia Chiuri for her spring summer 2020 ready to wear show, the Dior Gardens collection by Cordelia de Castellane offers up new creations in celebration of the art of entertaining.

Backstage at his debut show on February 12, 1947, Christian Dior brought in Louis XVI couches and Napoleon III-style gilded chairs with caned seats for the sitting rooms where he received customers and journalists. Christian Dior was unwittingly giving his fashion house a signature motif that would inspire it to this day.
