Dior, the French luxury house, has revealed Kyoto, Japan, to be the location of its next destination show. The city’s garden of Toji will be host to the event, which is scheduled to take place on 15th April 2025.
To honour Dior’s deep connection to Japan, the upcoming runway show will feature the autumn 2025 collection designed by creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri. In a release, the brand said the event was a tribute towards Christian Dior and his successors, reflecting ‘a new chapter at the convergence of tradition and reinvention’.
Dior has continued to travel the globe to stage collection presentations in culturally significant locations. After showcasing a collection inspired by the Queen of Scots at Drummond Castle in Scotland, the brand plans to hold its next cruise show in Rome, Italy, in May. This change in location offers a sunnier setting compared to the previous Scottish backdrop.
Japan has remained an integral part of Dior’s lifespan, having previously inspired the brand’s namesake designer to combine ‘modernism and tradition’, Florence Müller, the curator of its 2022 exhibition in the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, said.
