“In this collection, I wanted to concentrate on elements of craft, the skills of the Ateliers and artisans who work for the House: this is the lifeblood of Dior. There is always a sense of biography when it comes to the House, that of Christian Dior and the succession of designers, here combined with the life of the ceramicist Hylton Nel. This collection is a celebration of work and an expression of who somebody is and what they achieve through work, that legacy and continuity through time. In the case of Christian Dior, Hylton Nel and myself, it’s an idea of parallel paths with different stories. It’s life-long work in ceramics and paintings and life-long work in fabrications and clothing. There is an idea of and dedication to art and the applied arts shared by all.” Kim Jones

Craft and the texture of a life lived in a body of work are at the heart of the Dior Summer 2025 collection. Embracing the motifs, figuration and almost homespun monumentalism of the South African ceramicist Hylton Nel, Artistic Director Kim Jones continues to explore and advance global ideas of savoir-faire without hierarchy in the collection. Together with a further development in his signature take on luxury and utility, men’s workwear and the women’s haute couture archive surrender new meaning this season, combining functionality, longevity and legacy.
Silhouettes are at once sculptural and practical, borrowing from the language of ceramics in both form and finishings. The humble and the noble are combined in fabrications, while the functionality of workwear is flourished with the influence of the cut of archival couture or the handcraft of the Dior ateliers.
