Mountains and outdoor escapades become the inspirational landscape for this collection presented in collaboration with artist Peter Doig.
The capsule collection stands out for its wrap-around fabrics embellished with prints exclusively crafted by Doig for Dior. It’s not the first time the artist has collaborated with the Maison, as in 2021 they also teamed up for a winter capsule.
