Dior travels to Japan.
The Japanese city of Kyoto will host Dior’s next destination show on April 15, 2025, the French luxury fashion house said Thursday. The gardens of the Toji Temple form the backdrop for the presentation, which is intended as a tribute to the house’s “close ties to Japan”.
The focus of the show is creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri’s fall 2025 collection. The event is “a tribute to the passion for this fascinating country that Christian Dior and his successors cultivated” and reflects “a new chapter at the intersection of tradition and reinvention,” according to a statement.
The fashion house remains true to its concept of presenting collections in culturally significant locations worldwide. In May, the brand will host its next cruise show in Rome – a sunny setting that contrasts with its previous location in Scotland. There, at Drummond Castle, Dior presented a cruise collection inspired by Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots.
Japan has always played a key role in Dior’s history. The brand’s namesake was already inspired by Japan to “combine modernity and tradition,” as Florence Müller, curator of the 2022 Dior exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, explained. Müller added: “The first agreements concluded in 1953 between Dior and renowned Japanese textile companies began a fruitful cultural and artistic dialogue that continues to this day.”
