Anelli e bracciale della collezione Les Jardins de la Couture

Fashion, jewellery, style: three aspects of the same garden says Dior. The Parisian Maison, an atelier of great clothes, is also a jewelery workshop. Indeed, of high jewelry, like the one presented by the creative director Victoire de Castellane and entitled Les Jardins de la Couture. High jewelery that takes as a reference an interweaving of nature and the art of clothing. It is no coincidence that the jewels were presented worn by models obviously wearing clothes from the Maison. The line includes 170 pieces of fine jewelry, including three watches with a secret, i.e. bracelets that incorporate a hidden timepiece that can be revealed at will.

The jewels are offered in four different strands: Galons Fleuris, Très Cher Dior, Buissons Couture and Mini Milly. The flowers that inspire a good number of jewels in the collection are a tribute to the founder of the Maison, Christian Dior, who loved flowers, as well as a classic jewelery format. The jewel-shaped flowers also do not wither. Gems and nature, goldsmith’s art and luxury, but also lightness: the ingredients for the success of Les Jardins de la Couture are all there.

The Gem Dior 2021 collection by Victoire de Castellane amazes those who expected from the artistic director of the Maison a jewelry line that is cousin to last year’s. But no, the designer has changed her feeling. And the surprise remained intact, because Victoire de Castellane’s inventiveness is always cheerful, despite the difficult times that the world has gone through in the last 12 months.

The jewels are inspired by the colorful fabric samples of Couture that the founder, Christian Dior, composed with elements asymmetrical and angular sections. The inspiration behind the collection, explained the creative director of Dior jewelry, comes from the way in which the founder of the Maison pinned fabric samples from his high fashion collections on pieces of paper, as well as from the natural and organic shape of stones, precious and raw minerals. The jewels are made in the three classic colors of gold, yellow, white and pink, with the addition of diamonds. But there is also a version that adds a touch of color, with the use of stone inserts such as malachite, lapis lazuli, carnelian, brown tiger’s eye, turquoise or chrysoprase. In addition to the jewels, there are also precious bracelets-watches, always in the same style as the collection.

Cara Delevigne indossa la collezione Rose de Vents di Dior

Dior also for winter 2020 has the face of Cara Delevingne. The 29-year-old British model is still an ambassador for Dior’s Rose des Vents jewelery collection, designed by artistic director Victoire de Castellane. The collection, launched a few years ago, is now enriched with new pieces inspired by Christian Dior’s passion for divinatory art. Dior, in fact, was very superstitious and always kept with him, as an amulet, a star found in front of the British embassy in Paris. He also periodically consulted seers and diviners.

The new jewels are in white and pink gold, with the addition of diamonds and are inspired by the shape of the wind rose, with the classic shape of an eight-pointed star enclosed in a circle, from which the collection takes its name. The new pieces add to those presented in 2017 and last year. The brand also released a video with Cara Delevigne to relaunch the collection.

Dior, high-jewelry three time

A new collection of high jewelry by the Maison: lace, gold and stones with Dior Dior Dior ♦ ︎

After the gardens of Versailles and the baroque decorations of the great residence of the French kings, here is another noble inspiration from Victoire de Castellane, who leads Dior’s fine jewelry with great expertise. The new collection, in fact, is inspired by the art of lace. After all, it was a type of fabric widely used by those who lived in the court of Versailles. The high jewelry collection includes 65 pieces. And, to testify that the maximum of the novelty is what has already happened, Victoire de Castellane has used Christian Dior’s archival images, choosing between embroidery and arabesques to make necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings rich in emeralds, blue sapphires and rose, rubies, tanzanites, diamonds, etc.
Presented in the Paris haute couture week, the collection had an unusual stage: the Museum of Modern Art, where it was visible for three days by the public, together with a exhibition of Dior’s jewelery production, which celebrated its 20th anniversary: in fact, it was created in 1998. In short, from the aristocratic past to the democratic present.
The decision to draw inspiration from embroideries and lace, however, is also linked to the other soul of Dior, that of fashion. In fact, the effect of the lace recreated with gold threads is present throughout the collection and recalls Christian Dior’s atelier. And the collection underlines this “diorism”: it is not by chance that it has been entitled Dior, Dior, Dior. In short, Dior three times.
Large cocktail rings with colored stones of appropriate size, bracelets with shimmering stones, bracelets where flowers appear among the embroideries and integrate with the light gold embroidery. Jewels worthy of the Dior tradition and the most noble haute couture. Matilde de Bounville

Fashion, love and style. On the catwalks of Paris have also appeared bijou that, if you really it are not always practical in everyday life, can be fun on special occasions. Ok, necklace Lanvin is not suitable to buy broccoli at the market, but will arouse curiosity at a party. And the max bracelet signed Balmain might be hard while you cut the zucchini, but along with a white dress perfectly complete the outfit. And the same can be argued for the crown and earrings Dolce & Gabbana: catwalks that become a stage, even for jewelery. M.d.B.

Tie a ribbon is a real art, said Christian Dior. Make it an inspiration for a collection of fine jewelry as well, especially if its creator is the designer Victoire de Castellane. The new line Soie, a word that means silk in French, reflects the style of the previous collection Archi amazing Dior: frames with a complicated twist of gold shaped and polished like a fabric and color combinations spectacular with rare stones and selected. With a difference, where before there were lines and pleated dresses now are the sinuous curves of the decorative elements: the expanse of colorless diamonds but luminous and sparkling that wrap in an emerald parure Noue, the stones arranged like a lace embroidered that embellishes a strip of colored tape, but this is brilliant white and sapphire blue and pink baguette. The metal with the task of evoking the slight softness of silk, of organza, taffeta and satin, the stones with different cuts, the luster of the fabric.

The stars lucky charm of Dior

Published on April 27, 2015

Victoire de Castellane, creative director of Dior fine jewelry for 17 years, never stops and has just launched a capsule collection named Rose des vents. Starring a star formed by the four cardinal points and as many intermediate, then eight, as the lucky number of Christian Dior. In fact, the designer was not only very superstitious, always kept with him a star found outside the embassy of England in Paris as an amulet, but loved to periodically consult seers and diviners. And the star is also a recurring pattern in the mosaic in the garden of the former house of Dior in Granville, France. From here, the inspiration for these bracelets and necklaces with a delicate chain and at the center a round yellow or rose gold which frames the symbol, still precious metal, with a central diamond and the bottom in mother of pearl, pink opal, lapis lazuli or turquoise. An unusual sobriety for de Castellane, who has accustomed the clients of the fashion house and all her fans in the jewelry world, to flamboyant jewelry, in a triumph of daring settings and a kaleidoscope of precious stones. But according to the designer this symbol works well in tiny things. The choice of colors is dictated by the ability of the mother of pearl and opal pink to blend into the skin, while the turquoise is a variation for the summer and the blue of lapis lazuli is a chic color and military without being tough, as has told the Wall Street Journal, the designer, who also confessed to wear in everyday life only the wedding ring and a thin ring by Dior, of course, with the inscription “Oui”, because walking on the street to her office office wearing too much jewelry would make her uncomfortable. The reason? She does not like to attract too much attention. One concern unexpected. Matilde de Bounvilles
