During preparations for the #DiorCruise 2021 show in the southern Italy city of Lecce, @MariaGraziaChiuri spoke about the reasons behind her focus on the region of Puglia - a land in which she has deep family roots - as inspiration. From local artisans to internationally recognized artists, fostering a sense of collaboration and community was key to the realization of the collection. © Film by Edoardo Winspeare

Handmade lace is a craft that necessitates extraordinary skill and equally immense patience. The type of bobbin lace associated with the Italian region of Puglia - the inspiration for the #DiorCruise 2021 collection by @MariaGraziaChiuri - is known as 'tombolo', and Marilena Sparasci is one of its greatest champions and practitioners. #DiorSavoirFaire © Film by Edoardo Winspeare Photo by @BlueAnto

MAISON CHRISTIAN DIOR – THE ROSES For #MaisonChristianDior we use all kinds of roses, there’s no limit to #FrancoisDemachy’s imagination when creating a fragrance. From Rose Kabuki with its extremely powdery rosy note inspired by the immaculate makeup of traditional Japanese Kabuki theater, to the amber note mixed with delicate velvet of Turkish rose in Ambre Nuit. • @diorparfums #MaisonChristianDior as seen by @franknitty3000 Collages by @stefan_gunnesch

Building on the repeat success of the various 'Bobby' couture daywear creations, Monsieur Dior's beloved pet inspired a special edition of the legendary 'Miss Dior' perfume in 1952, with a precious dog-shaped bottle designed by Fernand Guery-Colas. Initially named 'Le Bobby de Miss Dior', it was ultimately launched as 'J’appartiens à Miss Dior' ('I Belong to Miss Dior') in an extremely limited edition. Adorned with an inscribed dog tag, each numbered bottle was presented in an elaborate yellow satin 'pagoda niche', as depicted here being received by the Begum Aga Khan at a gala dinner held during the 1954 Festival de Cannes. #DiorHeritage © Collection Christian Dior Parfums

Apart from being Monsieur Dior's favorite dog, Bobby also enjoyed an unprecedented couture presence during the House's early days. "Almost every collection contained a suit earmarked for success called 'Bobby'," the ever-superstitious founding couturier wrote in his memoirs – a 'lucky' tradition we invite you to discover in images, and to which @MariaGraziaChiuri now pays tribute with the new must-have #DiorBobby bag. #DiorHeritage © Mike de Dulmen © Association Willy Maywald / ADAGP, 2020

Dogs were a recurring and treasured element of Monsieur Dior's life: from Sandale to Papillon, who lived with his father at Callian, and Mirza, a wolfdog residing at the Château de la Colle Noire, the founding couturier's estate in the south of France, which his sister Catherine adopted after his death. But among them all, Bobby was Monsieur Dior's favorite, a beloved companion to whom he would pay tribute numerous times in his career. We invite you to discover this unexpected and touching tale in stories. #DiorHeritage © AGIP Bridgeman Images © Droits Réservés

Making its debut for #DiorFall20, the new #DiorBobby designed by @MariaGraziaChiuri perpetuates the excellence of #DiorSavoirFaire. Channeling the bag's softly rounded, feminine form, the concealed magnetic clasp is topped with the founding couturier's initials, while the '30 Montaigne' signature, hand-embossed at the back, references the House's legendary Paris address. © @PolBaril
