For those who’ve ever wondered about the hidden inspirations behind Dior’s enduring romance with femininity, fragrance, and fashion, a new book offers an exquisite glimpse into the world that shaped it all. DIOR. Enchanting Gardens is the latest must-have release from the House — an ode to the floral universe that Christian Dior adored, from his childhood gardens in Granville to the fragrant blooms that would later define his couture and perfume creations.
Launching worldwide in September 2025 (with a French release in April), this beautifully produced volume published by Rizzoli draws readers deep into Dior’s botanical passions. Across 160 pages, it traces the designer’s lifelong love affair with flowers and gardens — from the Corolle line of his New Look silhouette to the creation of the iconic Miss Dior fragrance, and beyond.
Following the acclaimed exhibition of the same name at the Musée Christian Dior in Granville, DIOR. Enchanting Gardens offers a unique visual journey through Dior’s private residences and gardens, including Les Rhumbs, Château de La Colle Noire, and the Moulin-du-Coudret. The book also explores how successive Artistic Directors — from Christian Dior himself to Maria Grazia Chiuri — have continued to reinterpret this floral language in their work.
Rich archival materials are paired with stunning imagery from celebrated photographers including Henry Clarke, Patrick Demarchelier, Brigitte Niedermair, and Paolo Roversi, offering readers an immersive experience of Dior’s unmistakable efflorescent signature.
Whether for fashion enthusiasts, collectors of fine books, or lovers of gardens and fragrance, DIOR. Enchanting Gardens is destined to become a timeless addition to any library. For more information, visit dior.com.
