In the rush of our daily routines, we often forget that life, at its core, is a dance meant to be enjoyed, not just endured. When we stop to admire a butterfly, we're not just observing its physics or analyzing the intricate patterns on its wings—we're witnessing a mesmerizing dance in the chaos of nature. It’s in these moments that life reveals its true beauty. In my regular discussions about luxury, I've noticed a shift in its essence. Traditionally, luxury was about creating beauty and enhancing human charm with exquisite, albeit sometimes inaccessible, materials. It was an art form that celebrated the unique and the extraordinary. However, the modern luxury industry seems to have veered off this path. Today, it's heavily driven by engineering, data, and an endless parade of endorsements. The beauty and charm that once defined luxury items seem overshadowed by a focus on brand names and materialistic value. I miss the days when luxury was synonymous with sheer beauty. Icons like Leonardo Da Vinci and Christian Dior didn’t rely on data to create timeless masterpieces. Dior’s 1954 pencil skirts weren’t just garments; they were celebrations of femininity, crafted to magnify beauty as per Dior’s own vision of the 'tall letter H'. As we navigate through this ever-changing world, let’s not lose sight of what truly matters. Let's remember that like a butterfly’s effortless dance, life and luxury should be simple, beautiful experiences that touch our souls and bring joy to our eyes. Let’s dance through life, cherishing its beauty and the true essence of luxury that once was. #luxury

⭐️Dior Does It Again⁉️ Insights from Dior’s Dioriviera Pop-Up Experience⭐️ The Dioriviera pop-up at Il Riccio, Capri, offers a masterclass in how luxury brands craft immersive experiences that resonate deeply with their audience.

The “fun” in runway fashion is looong gone 🌸🐉 What do you see when you think of early 2000s Dior, Moschino and Fendi? Crazy layers? Sexiness? Y2K aesthetic? It’s what I imagine as the most fun era of runway fashion One of my fav collections ever is: Dior Ready-To-Wear, Spring 2005 Colour clashes, bold accessories, punk-inspired but with clear influence from vibrant Japanese street style & Fruits magazine 🤩 What’s so great about it - is the almost DIY look, Like you could recreate something similar from thrifted pieces & some fabric markers And that’s why it’s so fun Aspirational style but not unattainable INspirational (Besides the severely unattainable model look from the 2000s) Does anyone else have a favourite era of fashion? Maybe 80s punk, Y2K, or 70s Studio 54 vibes? 👇 It was fun (how many times can I say fun in one post?) to illustrate this iconic look from my fav Dior collection Adorned with some cool dragons inspired by my Vietnam trip Nothing I love more than portrait drawing & playing with colour clashes to experiment! PS I still actually love a lot of runway fashion every year, but a gal can’t help but reminisce on old times 😝 #illustration #fashion #adobe

The evolution of luxury packaging dates back to the early 19th and 20th centuries. Companies like DIOR not only focused on producing exquisite products but also placed considerable emphasis on the presentation of their goods through luxurious packaging. Miss Dior first bottle was sold on December 1st, 1947, nine months after the revolution of the “New Look”. This first bottle was designed to mirror the silhouette Christian Dior dreamt for the modern and elegant woman. An amphora: feminine, curvaceous, timeless. The amphora, a shape that resembles something between an hourglass and a flower, speaks of classic beauty and youth. Dior’s “New Look” ended the era of frugality in fashion and cosmetics forced by the wartime. Exquisite packaging can leave a lasting impression on consumers, fostering brand loyalty and encouraging repeat purchases. When consumers have a positive experience with a product, including its packaging, they are more likely to remain loyal to the brand and recommend it to others.

I think Dior needs to organize a sit-down seminar for people in the industry who criticize Maria Grazia Chiuri. The seminar should begin with the fact that Dior has tripled its profits since Mrs. Chiuri joined the company, followed by a presentation on the brand's best-sellers. After that : 1. A group discussion about a best-selling bag (book tote) made out of fabric that not only does well on its own but is also part of seasonal collections, attracting additional clients. 2. An overview of the Dior logo print that seamlessly transitions from accessories to ready-to-wear pieces without appearing tacky. This also applies to the use of the Dior actual logo. Maria Grazia Chiuri is skilled not only in design but also in merchandising. When certain styles reappear after a few seasons, it indicates their success and justifies their return. Additionally, Dior classics such as bar jackets are offered in a variety of fabrics and details season after season, meeting the demands of women who appreciate them. The Pre-Fall/Winter 2024 collection, presented in NYC, was inspired by Marlene Dietrich. While the inspiration may not be directly connected to Dietrich's appearance (which is not novel today), it captures her spirit. Chiuri admires independent women and is shaping a new Dior for those who create their style, spend their own money, and disregard critics who find the current Dior designer uninspiring. The collection comprises 77 looks, all of which are wearable. The runway pieces do not require a showroom version; they appear just fine as is. Some may argue that the collection's pieces, such as Look 44 (silver skirt and wool pullover) or Look 35 (white shirt and gray pants), are standard looks any designer could've made. However, no one does it as chic as Dior. And for those who seek "wearable newness," look at look 19: a trendy short coat, full short skirts, and tall boots. I love this collection. #wwd #vogue #bof #dior #fashion #fashiobusiness

Haute Couture Meets Haute Horlogerie: A Fashionable Affair The latest haute horlogerie offerings from luxury maison Dior draw on its haute couture legacy, with feathers, flowers, the baroque architecture of the Paris Opera House, sumptuous fabrics, and feathered petticoats, all dancing their way on to colourful dials that are adorned with scintillating diamonds. But it’s no wonder that numerous fashion houses are drawn into the realm of wristwatches, ensuring that they don’t miss out on the success enjoyed by mechanical timepieces. Given that watch prices and profits surpass those of shirts, shoes, or pants. Fashion is a dynamic and multifaceted concept, encompassing clothing, style, culture, creativity, and industry. It reflects individual and societal values, is a platform for artistic expression, and represents an ever-evolving aspect of our daily lives. #hautecouture #hautehorlogerie #dior Christian Dior Couture Dubai Watch Week Wristwatch & Co.® 🏆🇲🇿

In the world of luxury fashion, Christian Dior stands as an iconic name, renowned for its timeless elegance and exquisite craftsmanship. However, with the rising popularity of Dior products, the market has seen an unprecedented surge in counterfe!t items. To ensure that you are investing in a genuine Dior piece, understanding the Dior date code is crucial. Contrary to many other luxury brands, Dior does not utilize a unique serial number system for its products. Instead, Dior employs a date code system that can help determine the authenticity of Dior items.

Catalogues in Luxury Fashion: #Dior x #StoneIsland Near-Perfect Edition It seems to be Christian Dior Couture time on my page😅 Anyway, it’s been a while I got the latest catalogue with upcoming capsule from Dior x Stone Island, and definitely need to write about it. As 📌I wrote both on this collaboration as an example of #CrossPromotion and potential of catalogues in #LuxuryFashion which I believe is not fully utilized (see the article here: https://lnkd.in/dmEVtkUZ), 📌and because my platform 2jour-stylist.com slightly incorporates the concept of cataloging, I would like to share my thoughts on this catalogue. Unlike the usual catalogues Dior makes (as mentioned in the article above), this one is close to perfection. Could it be even more perfect? Well, I am a gap spotter and idea generator, so…😂 Anyway, let’s focus on perfect. This catalogue is good, and here is why: #marketing #customerengagement #loyalty #fashion Moncler #moncler LVMH #lvmh #2JourCatalogue

Let’s Play Luxury Brand Fun Fact ✨ This is a luxury brand that the whole world knew but I assume only few is familiar with the story. For someone who loves and enjoy long history, rich heritage, culture, story telling, absolutely it’s a symphony with a beautiful melody to my ears. I learned it back when I did my ExecEdu. So how can I forget stories when I, myself, grew up listening to stories a lot? #Royals #Monarchs #Mythology #Poetry #Fairytales #Romance #Legends #History How did Mr. Bernard Arnault landed with Christian Dior? Ever since, Mr. Bernard Arnault was always interested with Christian Dior. In 1971, He was traveling to New York. It was his first time at the Kennedy Airport. He took a cab and he started talking to the cab driver. The driver loves France and he was interested in politics. The driver didn’t like the US President and at that time it was President Nixon. So Mr. Arnault asked the driver what does he knew about France and if he knew who the French President was. And the driver said that he didn’t know BUT he knew Christian Dior. That’s when the 22 year-old Mr. Arnault knew the power of a name. Lo and behold, in 1978, the brand Christian Dior was under a failing conglomerate called Boussac Saint-Frère. The company filed for bankruptcy. And guess who was pleased and happy with the news? Mr. Bernard Arnault, of course! Knowing it was music to his ears. As a young boy, he loved the brand. Call it destiny? You may say so. Christian Dior is not just Christian Dior. I believe this is one, if not, the richest story and history there is. This is just a snippet. The 30 Avenue Montaigne is not just a place but it’s an iconic building because that same address that exist today is where Christian Dior built his first house. PS: Photo is the Corolla Collection. Guess who opposed when Christian Dior released it? Your guess is good as mine. 😆 If I miss out on the story, let me know. Looking forward to visit the La Galerie Dior as I have questions and curiosity lining up already. Another interesting story I’ve been researching and scanning as of this time is the original “IT” Group of the Luxury Fashion World. If you have a good recommendation of book, archives etc, please let me know.
