Dior Cruise 2024 collection lands in Singapore
As the festive season approaches, Dior reinvents the magic of winter with a range of exceptional pieces. Echoing the Dior cruise 2024 collection dreamed up by Maria Grazia Chiuri, a multitude of butterflies – in shades of gold and white – spread their wings and come to life on the Lady Dior, the Dior Book Tote, the Lady D-Lite and the Panier Chapeau.
In homage to Monsieur Dior's passion for the divinatory arts, they form an enchanting constellation revealing the twelve signs of the zodiac. Like an ode to the fascinating mysteries of astrology, this intricate design also embellishes bags, elegant small leather goods and a silk square.
Irresistible punctuations, the Dior Ballet ballerinas, D-Strike ankle boots and Jolie Dior pumps are enhanced by white resin beads adorned with the “CD” initials, an infinitely refined detail inspired by the emblematic Dior Tribal earrings.
Finishing each outfit with an extra touch of audacity, the jewelry is sublimated with bewitching butterflies, whose delicacy is imbued with beauty. These poetic creatures magnify all Dior universes: the Butterfly Around the World motif – conceived by Pietro Ruffo –, combined with the reinterpretation of toile de Jouy, embellishes several Dior Maison creations, such as crockery, table linen and various objects, as well as candles and notebooks. A vase and a decorative box*, designed in collaboration with the Manufacture des Émaux de Longwy founded in 1798, complete the assortment.
Stray Kids' Felix in Louis Vuitton's get-up
Australian-born South Korean singer and one of eight members of Stray Kids, Felix, was recently spotted wearing a white Louis Vuitton Monogram sleeveless jacket as well as a gold and silver Everyday LV chain necklace. He was performing alongside his band members at the 5Star Dome Tour at Seoul on 21 October. But it didn't take him long enough to show off his toned abs, with fans calling it "sculptured by Heaven."
He is really talented, I love his energy, his unique personality and his audacious sense of style’ says Nicolas Ghesquière, Louis Vuitton’s Artistic Director of Women’s Collections. We'd probably see more of Felix in the latest Louis Vuitton styles soon.
Louis Vuitton was voted as Top Luxury Brand in a poll by Yahoo readers as part of the Yahoo Choice Awards 2023.
