Dior celebrates the Exellence of its Savoir-Faire at the 2025 Osaka-Kansai World Expo

The House is delighted to announce its participation in the 2025 World Expo taking place in Osaka, reaffirming its unbreakable ties with Japan.

Within the French pavilion – organized around the theme of Hymne à l’amour – Dior has composed a fabulous odyssey, a tribute to the fervor for craftsmanship and handmade work, reflecting the excellence of Parisian haute couture.

A plural homage to the beauty produced by gestures, embodied alternately by a Rodin sculpture, the timeless Bar suit – a symbol of Dior elegance presented in three variations, blue, white and red, – and by the legendary Amphores Tricolores designed by Christian Dior in 1949 and reissued for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Echoing the first vocation of Christian Dior, who aspired to become an architect before turning to couture, is the Lady Dior bag reinterpreted by Japanese architect Kazuyo Sejima for the Lady Dior As Seen By project in 2024.

Precious three-dimensional expressions of original sketches, more than 400 emblematic white toiles – presented on different scales – are spotlighted at the heart of a monumental installation, alongside bottles of iconic Dior fragrances reinterpreted through 3D printing. In the center, Dior models come to life in poetic images created by Japanese artist Yuriko Takagi.

A dreamlike choreography punctuated by the works of Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka, who in 2021 revisited the iconic Medallion chair.
