Following the Maison’s menswear Winter 2022 Collection debut in January of this year, the French Maison Dior has now opened a respective pop-up store in Los Angeles.
Located on Beverly Hill’s infamous Rodeo Drive (where else), the boutique offers another look at Kim Jones’ refined collection that was filled with asymmetrical closure pants, elevated overcoats, exquisite wrap and double-breasted blazers, relaxed yet refined pants and more.
Whether it be a light gray wool overcoat or a waist-hugging blazer, tailoring was Jones’ exhibition of beauty. Alongside ready-to-wear garments, the show also featured Dior’s now popular Birkenstock collaboration.
Bringing Paris to the West Coast, the pop-up store is inspired by the Alexandre III bridge with an array of Art Nouveau lamp posts and images of the Parisian skyline. The boutique also features a gold 3D-printed Pegasus sculpture that is exclusive to the Rodeo Drive location. From elevated overcoats and cheetah-print jackets to bejeweled derbys, the boutique showcases a range of the Winter 2022 collection pieces.

After unveiling the collaboration at the start of the year, French Maison Dior has now officially released its capsule with Birkenstock. The collection features two signature silhouettes — the Tokio Mule and Milano Sandal — and takes inspiration from Christian Dior’s love of gardening.
Celebrating this influence, the two silhouettes mix functionality and elegance in tribute to the couturier. The mule and sandal also arrive in a variety of finishes, including black nubuck calfskin, grey felted wool and, for the Tokio Mule, a ‘Greige’ nubuck calfskin.
Alongside the Birkenstock collaboration, the French Maison has also released its new CD 1947 capsule. This collection is based on a dialogue between Kim Jones and the legacy of Christian Dior, with this relationship exemplified by a new ‘Christian Dior’ signature combined with ‘1947’ in honor of the first Dior show.
Both the CD 1947 collection and the full Birkenstock collaboration are available now via the Dior web store.
Emerging from the shadow of a two-and-a-half year renovation, the iconic 30 Montaigne boutique reopened this past Sunday to reveal a ravishing new identity. It not only unites the multitude of collections together in a vastly enlarged and art-filled boutique that also contains a restaurant, café and three gardens, but also represents a revitalized expression of the Maison’s heritage and savoir-faire.
This latter is highlighted by the return of the haute couture ateliers along with the new arrival of the haute joaillerie ateliers. Totaling 2000m2, La Galerie Dior is an unparalleled addition, a permanent exhibition space filled with thousands of pieces, including some 166 couture creations in 13 thematic spaces, and a recreation of Monsieur Dior’s office.
Boutique
On the ground floor, women’s creations designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri – including ready-to-wear, accessories, shoes, bags and small leather goods – are displayed alongside men’s pieces designed by Kim Jones.
On the 1st floor, exceptional pieces in exotic leathers and evening wear designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri can be found nearby the Fine Jewelry collections, Dior Maison and men’s Demi Mesure.
La Gallerie Dior
Featuring a unique scenographic narrative, La Galerie Dior is a testament to the visionary audacity of Christian Dior and his six successors: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri.
Restaurant & La Pâtisserie Dior
As an ultimate treat, La Pâtisserie Dior – overlooking the sumptuous rose garden – provides any visit to 30 Montaigne with a requisite interlude over a sweet creation. Subtly reinterpreted by Jean Imbert, the most emblematic French cakes frequent original creations that reinvent Dior symbols in edible form.
A barista – selecting rare coffees for you – will be present to prolong these delicious moments, from the beauty of the gesture to the art of savoring. From breakfast to teatime, surrender to delicious pleasure and culinary excellence in an unparalleled setting.
The Restaurant, affectionately named Monsieur Dior, embodies the French art of living, driven by Jean Imbert’s creativity, both refined and generous, combining simplicity with elegance. The French chef, accompanied by his faithful collaborator Antony Clémot, drew from the heritage and history of the Maison to develop each menu. The cuisine is enhanced by exclusive Dior Maison collections dedicated to the arts of the table, enhancing classic dishes from the founding couturier’s favorite recipes.
An impressive Claudia Wieser mirror composed of geometric panels dialogues with Guy Limone’s pictorial work – especially created for 30 Montaigne – the result of a colossal research project: an original installation made from thousands of images – in a palette of red, black and white hues – drawn from Dior’s archives and the artist’s personal visual treasure trove. As a delicate hommage, an oil on canvas entitled Christian Dior à Table, by René Bouché is also featured in Le Restaurant.
Haute Couture Salons
The haute couture salons, precious testimonies of Dior’s history, have seen the collections of Christian Dior and premiered, right up to Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Dior fall-winter 2019-2020 haute couture line. Confidential, located near the ateliers and visible from the boutique through a large bay window, they are now regaining their former prestige, guarding the secrets of haute couture.
Haute couture represents a treasure trove of conscientious craftsmanship, a triumph of the sleight of hand, culminating in a kind of masterpiece.
Enhanced by wooden moldings and a parquet floor featuring a compass rose (a Dior classic) designed by architect Peter Marino, this timeless, refined setting hosts a selection of furniture and works of art, such as an abstract floral sculpture commissioned especially from Johan Creten or tables designed by Ado Chale or Claude Lalanne.
The Garden
“Thankfully, there are flowers”, said Monsieur Dior, who was – as well as a gallerist, an architecture aficionado, and grand couturier – an avid gardener. It was in Granville, in the rose garden of his family’s home overlooking the sea, that young Christian planted the seeds of his fascination with this most artful intersection of nature and culture. Growing into a fashion designer, Monsieur Dior found a bounty of inspiration in the gardens, allowing the dazzling silhouette of a femme-fleur to blossom from the very first collection, leaving her bewitching sillage in her wake.
On the ground floor, majestic tropical trees reach up to the windows of Le Restaurant Monsieur Dior, while perennial flowers bloom in abundance. One floor above, beneath a glass roof, there is a winter garden, where exotic plants seem to transcend borders. As for the terrace, it is adorned with a striking steel sculpture by John Chamberlain. On the third level, a veritable garden in the heart of the capital boasts apple trees and roses, Christian Dior’s favorite flowers, adding irresistible touches of elation.

In a world that is continually evolving, French Maison Christian Dior has fully taken on its role as a pioneering actor for change since 1947. At a time when cosmetics paradigms are evolving drastically, the Maison has decided to reveal all.
From February 2022, on the Dior website, the compositions of beauty references (perfume, skincare and makeup) will be revealed and explained, in terms of: natural origin rates, active ingredients, the origins and cultivation methods of the signature Maison ingredients of natural origin and their transformation methods, and environmental impact including packaging. For maximum clarity, the different ingredients are classified by family, then explained and listed by their benefits.
In order to better understand the expectations of women & men throughout the world, in 2021, Dior Research launched a vast study among 1500 luxury consumers in France, China and the United States. At the heart of the economic revival, Dior asked: what are their needs, wants and worries? What do they expect from the cosmetics of tomorrow?
In these three countries, across all generations (aged 18 to 75), two fundamental centres of interest clearly emerge: – Health, mainly the safety of products ingested and/or applied to the skin, – Respect for the environment (global warming and pollution).
Dior has decided to reveal and explain the composition of each product, beneath its description, at their website itself. The origins and cultivation methods of the signature Maison natural origin ingredients are displayed, as are the major aspects of eco-design in their packaging.
This information enables you to choose with certainty, the formula you want to have in contact with your skin, and the object you want to have in your bathroom. Almost 1,000 skincare, makeup and perfume references are already present in the catalogue, and upcoming new products will also appear.
Dior is committed to gradually updating its entire catalogue by enriching it with this information, which will be translated into every language. The documents will also be available via a QR Code on the packaging of new launches.
Whether perfume bottles, cream jars, lipstick mechanisms or cases, Dior describes the eco-design of its products as well as the process involved (recycled materials, the nature of renewable sourcing, separability, refill systems and recyclability). The French Maison also provides separation advice for recycling in a global and educational approach to reducing the environmental footprint of cosmetics over time.
Step by step, true to its convictions as a historical French Maison and a leader in the cosmetics industry, Dior is committed to leaving only beauty as a legacy. Come into the beautiiful world of Christian Dior.

Kylian Mbappé, the star striker of French football club Paris Saint-Germain, has been named the new ambassador of French Maison Dior. He will lend his image to creations by Kim Jones, Artistic Director for Dior Men’s collections, as well as to the Sauvage fragrance.
Just weeks after the launch of a bespoke wardrobe designed for the Parisian club by Kim Jones, Dior continues its partnership with the world of football, announcing a new collaboration with Kylian Mbappé.
At the age of just 22, the young star is a major force on the French national team, with which he won the World Cup in 2018. The same year he was named best young player by FIFA and also won the KOPA Trophy for best under-21 player worldwide. His most recent exploit was scoring a quartet of goals on November 13 during a qualifying match – the first such feat since 1958 – ensuring France’s ticket to the 2022 World Cup.
The footballer’s accomplishments continue off the pitch as well through his involvement in numerous charity initiatives. Kylian Mbappé sponsors the ‘Premiers de Cordée’ association, which gives hospitalized children a chance to discover and experience sports. In January 2020 he launched his own association, ‘Inspired by KM’, which motivates 98 children to achieve their objectives and make their dreams come true.
Maison Dior is delighted to welcome Kylian Mbappé, with whom it shares the values of excellence and generosity. Come into the beautiful world of Christian Dior.
On December 16th 1946, Christian Dior officially inaugurated his Couture House in Paris, on the 30 Avenue Montaigne. Today, the Maison Dior celebrates 75 years of history, heritage and creative passion.
I had stopped in front of these two adjacent hotels of the Avenue Montaigne, number 28 and 30. I boasted about the small proportions, the subtle elegance with no overwhelming ‘pedigree’, to the friend who was with me.
