Dior presents Fall 2025 collection in Kyoto

For the Dior Fall 2025 collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri explores the building, connecting the area that shapes the vestimentary habits of cultures the world over.

She studies the garment in two and three dimensions, including the kimono jacket, echoing Monsieur Dior, who created the Diorpaletot and Diorcoat for autumn-winter 1957, designed to be worn over a kimono while respecting its shape. Then, in the ongoing interplay of inspirations and references that define fashion, an album evoking a journey to Japan – where Marc Bohan’s Dior models were unveiled in Tokyo in 1971 – she proposes a dialogue with spellbinding characters of Japanese theater.

This imaginary cartography also includes the exhibition Love Fashion: In Search of Myself, which the Creative Director of Dior women’s lines visited in Kyoto. This compelling odyssey confronts two distinct fashion cultures to convey the singular attitude of bodies and the complexity of emotions that infuse them through the cut of garments, exploring the fundamental themes of body, identity and desire.

This gives rise to jackets and coats with generous, enveloping lines, sometimes belted. The garments become precious objects through their silk fabric and the sketch of a Japanese garden that accompanies the silhouette. Wide pants and long skirts undulate with every step and movement.

This is a metamorphic collection, where black remains intense, deep; where the captivating narrative of floral patterns becomes a print in itself; and where the inlay of golden embroidery expresses the marvelous desire that always flows through fashion and its creators.
