"Luckily, there are roses." This is Christian Dior's highest praise for the rose.
His love of roses stems from his villa LES RHUMBS in Granville, Normandy. The rose garden taken care of by his mother gave him infinite reverie, and the beautiful memories of his childhood made Mr. Dior yearn for it in the days to come.
Later, in the fashion house of the same name founded at 30 Avenue Montaigne, he did not forget to reshape this classic element, the rose became the source of Chirstian Dior's imagination, and the memory of the garden also injected infinite inspiration for the brand.
His designs combine the feminine elegance of the body with the beauty of flowers, and roses are printed, woven, and embroidered to flourish on afternoon dresses, ball gowns, skirts, coats, and accessories.
In his first haute couture collection, a slim-fitting evening dress called "Rose Garden" had soft shoulder lines and a detailed waist, balanced with simplicity and opulent in rose-printed taffeta.
Of Dior's iconic New Look, he said: "I conceived the image of the 'flowery woman', shaped in accordance with the graceful curves of the female body, with soft shoulders, full breasts, slender waists like vines, wearing skirts like a flower crown."
In addition to fashion, Dior also added a lot of rose elements in jewelry.
Since the birth of the design inspiration at the grand ball in the Christian Dior Garden in 1999, the rose has existed in another form in the history of the brand.
Victoire de Castellane, artistic director of Dior's Fine Jewelry department, transformed Mr. Dior's beloved rose into a gorgeous jewelry in a variety of poses.
"The stem of the rose is wrapped around the fingers, giving the jewelry a soft poetry, like a declaration of romance or a symbol of eternal love." This is how she describes the BOIS DE ROSE collection.
In 2011, the BAL DES ROSE collection, inspired by the rose, was launched, and these twelve incomparable pieces of top jewelry symbolize the elegant ladies who dress up for the ball.
Ten years after the BAL DES ROSE collection, Victoire is once again taking the rose as its dream starting point, with 54 dazzling and innovative jewellery masterpieces, the ROSEDIOR Top Jewellery Collection, reimagining the rose from a contemporary perspective.
When the ROSE is used as an element connecting the past and future of Dior, the DIOR ROSE fine jewelry series was born, which from the romantic roses and window roses common in classicism to the abstract roses of futurism, through these jewelry to uncover the romantic world of roses.
The new chapter of LA ROSE DIOR series ROSE DIOR COUTURE series, with the noble temperament of roses and curvilinear fragrance, brings people back to Mr. Dior's Granville Garden, colorful and pleasant atmosphere permeates every corner of the garden.
This time, Victoire created Dreams in a new context with its ROSE DIOR COUTURE collection, which uses the silky satin texture of haute couture fabrics to create rosebuds that are ready to bloom.
The BOIS DE ROSE collection creates rose branches in a minimalist shape. The bracelet is cleverly designed with a hidden buckle, which makes the jewelry show a neat beauty.
The ROSE DIOR BAGATELLE jewelry collection is exquisitely crafted in white gold and diamonds, showing the creative aesthetic: The design studio first accurately painted on the manuscript of the jewelry of equal scale, and then transformed by the craftsmen, highlighting the gorgeous appearance of the white gold jewelry.
This is a nod to Mr. Dior's cherished theme of roses: roses that have been embossed in prints, embroideries or brocades that have blazed on haute couture gowns, or embellished the waist, or imbued chiffon dresses with poetry or imbued hemlines.
She describes the brand's enduring elegant mystery, showing women's flower-like elegance and charm, and writing gorgeous fantasy stories with jewelry.
As the source of inspiration for the Dior brand, the rose is an artistic Muse with its meaningful beauty, which is eternally blooming in the years and constantly reborn.
