The pieces in the second chapter of the Diorama & Diorigami high jewellery collection, created by Victoire de Castellane, unveil a universe where fauna and flora come to life in vibrant hues. Like an enchanted Eden merging with the skin, various sets reveal a magical scene inhabited by playful animals, such as a fawn hiding among lush trees or swans gliding gracefully over a serene lake.
Inspired by the spirit of Parisian haute couture, so cherished by Christian Dior, some of these refined compositions pay tribute to the art of pleating, a meticulous technique that lends movement and elegance to the iconic tailleur Bar skirt. In Le Petit Dictionnaire de la Mode, Monsieur Dior described this craftsmanship as “one of the highlights of fashion.”
Bringing this tradition of excellence to life, necklaces, rings, and earrings dazzle with delicate flowers that evoke the art of origami, as if they were skilfully folded to form lush vegetation with geometric contours. At the heart of this fascinating narrative, the figurative artistry of Dior jewellery manifests in splendid and incredibly expressive details, accentuated by precious stones in vibrant tones. “Jewellery is only as good as its colour,” Monsieur Dior once wrote. A tribute to excellence, reflected in this fusion of nature and haute couture, where a multicoloured palette and plays of light create a luminous and captivating composition.
