DIOR

ODE TO SCOTLAND’S

HERITAGE

An ode to the beauty of travel inspired by the rich

textile traditions of Scotland, Dior’s 2025 Cruise col-

lection featured a series of prestigious collaborations

commemorating and reinforcing the ties established

by the fashion house’s founder, Monsieur Dior with this

fascinating country in the Maison’s early years.

Unveiled on the magnificent grounds of Drummond

Castle, the collection was another stirring chapter in

this legendary narrative. This iconic landmark – one of

Scotland’s architectural and historical treasures, with

its French and Italian Renaissance influences – was the

perfect setting for the show, beautifully showcasing the

looks designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri. These included

garments featuring a cinematic montage of photos of

Christian Dior’s 1955 Spring/Summer line shown at the

Gleneagles Hotel, printed or appliquéd onto the edges

of kilts and three-quarter-length coats. The looks blended

a diverse range of contrasting fabrics and textures, such

as the velvet and lace adorning pieces for the con-

temporary equestrian. Reinterpreted on very fine fabric,

tartan was the central thread running through the col-

lection, celebrating the kilt – whether crafted in Scotland

or revisited. As Monsieur Dior once said of tartan in

The Little Dictionary of Fashion, “It’s probably the only

patterned cloth that never goes out of style.”
