Valentine's Day, which just passed on February 14, was the first holiday after the New Year holiday. On this romantic day, people in love exchange roses to express their love.
And soon to come the white Day, people also give white roses to their partners.
As a symbol of love, the rose has long been an indispensable witness to couples' love and beautiful moments.
The association between roses and love originated in Greek legend. There is a story that the Greek goddess Aphrodite was scratched by a white rose, and the first red rose was born. It is also said that Aphrodite grew the first red rose where he wept for his deceased lover Adonis.
In people's hearts, roses represent timeless love and praise the nobility and elegance of women.
Dior, which has always been known for its elegant design, also has an indissoluble love affair with roses, whose delicate cascading flower types, changing colors and petals give birth to unlimited creativity, leading successive creative directors to innovate and skillfully reproduce the classic element of roses about Dior, making it an eternal symbol of beauty and dreams.
As early as the time of Yves Saint Laurent, Dior applied the rose element to the Spring/Summer 1956 haute couture runway collection, and the rose on the chest of the "Dior Rhyme" dress added layers and highlights to this simple and elegant dress.
Marc Bohan uses roses as a print pattern, preserving the beauty of flowers in autumn and winter haute couture.
The Ballet De Fleurs dress in the Spring/Summer 1995 haute couture is a combination of elegant long skirts and bright, unrestrained roses, highlighting the graceful posture of women like blooming roses.
John Galliano's imaginative designs transform roses into symbols of vintage and luxury, blooming freely on satin.
Raf Simons directly placed the AW12 haute couture runway in the midst of a huge wall of roses, and the dresses that pay tribute to the Corolla collection also bring the classic back to life.
Maria Grazia Chiuri, the current women's director, also embellishes roses in multiple shades and forms.
On the runway of the Spring/Summer 2019 ready-to-wear collection, models and dancers gracefully weave through rose petals.
The Fall/Winter 2021 ready-to-wear collection draws inspiration from the collection to create a fairy tale of the night in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, featuring andré Brossin De Méré's ingenious rose as a signature element.
"Fortunately, there are roses in the world." This is Christian Dior's highest praise for roses.
His love for roses stemmed from his villa les Rhumbs in Granville, Normandy. The rose garden run by his mother gave him unlimited reverie, and the good memories of his childhood made Mr. Dior fascinated and dreamed day and night in the days to come.
Later, in the fashion house of the same name founded at 30 Rue Montaigne, he did not forget to reinvent this classic element, and the rose became the source of Chirstian Dior's imagination, and the nostalgia for the garden also injected infinite inspiration into the brand.
His designs blend the elegant shape of women with the beauty of flowers, and roses bloom brilliantly in afternoon dresses, ball dresses, skirts, coats and accessories through printing, weaving and embroidery.
In his first haute couture collection, a slim evening dress called "Rose Garden" has soft shoulder lines and a delicate waist, and the skirt balances simplicity with rose-print taffeta.
Commenting on New Look, an iconic work in Dior's clothing history, he said: "I conceived the image of 'flowery women', shaping beautiful curves according to the female body shape, with feminine shoulder lines, plump breasts, vine-like slender waists, and dresses that bloomed like a corolla. ”
In addition to fashion, Dior also added a lot of rose elements to the jewelry.
Since the birth of design inspiration at a grand ball in Christian Dior Gardens in 1999, roses have existed in another form in the brand's history.
Victoire de Castellane, Artistic Director of Dior's Fine Jewelry Division, transforms Mr. Dior's beloved roses into jewelry in a variety of gestures.
"The rose stem wraps around the fingers, making the jewelry feel tender and poetic, like a romantic proclamation or an eternal symbol of love." That's how she describes the BOIS DE ROSE series.
In 2011, the rose-inspired BAL DES ROSE collection was launched, twelve pieces of unrivalled top jewelry that symbolize the elegant ladies who dress up for the ball.
Ten years after the launch of the BAL DES ROSE collection, Victoire once again used roses as a starting point for his dreams, bringing with it fifty-four unbridled and innovative jewelry masterpieces, the ROSEDIOR Top Jewelry Collection, reinterpreting roses from a contemporary perspective.
When the rose was used as an element connecting Dior's past and future, the DIOR ROSE fine jewelry collection was born, which opened the romantic world of roses from the romantic roses and window flower roses common in classicism to the abstract roses of futurism.
The new chapter of the LA ROSE DIOR series, the ROSE DIOR COUTURE series, with the noble temperament and curvy fragrance of roses, takes people back to Mr. Dior's Granville Garden, where colorful colors and pleasant atmospheres fill every corner of the garden.
This time, Victoire dreams of the ROSE DIOR COUTURE series in a new context, using the silk satin texture of haute couture fabrics to create rose buds waiting to be released.
The BOIS DE ROSE series creates rose branches in a minimalist shape. The bracelet's clever concealed buckle design gives the jewelry a clean, integrated beauty.
The ROSE DIOR BAGATELLE jewelry collection is a creative aesthetic made in white gold and diamonds: the design studio draws precisely on the manuscripts of equal proportions, and then craftsmen skillfully shape them to highlight the beauty of the white gold jewelry.
This pays homage to Mr. Dior's cherished rose motif: these roses have been transformed into prints, embroideries or brocade patterns, which bloom brilliantly on haute couture dresses, or embellish the waist, or inject poetry into chiffon dresses, or give them a delicate shape.
She depicts the brand's enduring elegance, shows the flower-like style and charm of women, and continues to write a brilliant fantasy story with jewelry.
As the inspiration of the Dior brand, the artistic muse of the rose is constantly reborn in the years with its timeless beauty.
