Unveiled in the enchanting gardens of Drummond Castle, Dior's Cruise 2025 collection is a visual homage to Scotland, weaving the country's rich history and culture into every piece. Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri draws inspiration from Christian Dior's 1955 presentation in Perthshire, blending memories, inspirations, and traditional Scottish symbols like the unicorn and thistle into exquisite heraldic embroidery.
The collection features a tribute to tartan, with various colors and cuts celebrating this timeless fabric's journey from romanticism to punk. Historical photos from Dior's 1955 showcase are reimagined as prints and appliques, adding a cinematic touch to kilts and pea coats.
Velvet and lace textures dress contemporary equestrian silhouettes, while exaggerated sleeves and gathered skirts bring dramatic flair. Tartan threads through the collection, from lightweight materials to traditional kilt designs, complemented by coats, capes, and rain boots.
This inventive choreography of interconnected elements revisits past stories, offering a journey of creativity and cultural celebration. Dior's Cruise 2025 collection is a testament to the enduring bond between Dior and Scotland, a narrative woven with elegance and heritage.
