The House unveils a new book of photographs, Dior by Yuriko Takagi, celebrating Dior's oeuvre through the ages. Sublimated by the oneiric vision of the icon of Japanese photography, this realm of dreams becomes, under the spell of her lens, a surreal setting where the silhouettes designed by Christian Dior and his successors come to life.
Beyond the haute couture creations, it is the toiles – those “Outlines of the Dress” in the words of Olivier Saillard – that attract the artist's attention. In this aesthetic quest, which is like archaeology as much as it is poetry, Yuriko Takagi weaves a profound dialogue between the House's heritage and her own vision, delivering her interpretation of the essence of Dior.
Her visual language seeks to capture what Christian Dior called “the movement of life*.” She breathes a unique haziness into her images, bringing the garments to life. Linking the Artistic Directors, flowers play a prominent role – reflecting Yuriko Takagi's sincere admiration for them. The Dior looks thus become the protagonists of a graceful ballet.
A fascinating work published by Rizzoli, available in bookstores from September 2025.
