The Milly Dentelle collection is a luxurious tribute to the haute couture of CHRISTIAN DIOR and the lush landscapes that inspired him, celebrating both nature and human artistry.
Victoire de Castellane, the creative force behind Dior’s imaginative high jewellery designs, has once again reinterpreted the house’s rich legacy with her latest Milly Dentelle collection. Inspired by the vibrant gardens surrounding Christian Dior’s sanctuary in Milly-la-Forêt, the collection serves as an enchanting homage to nature, evoking a fantastical realm where flowers, leaves, and asymmetrical shapes blend harmoniously in a dazzling display of diamonds and pearls.
Featuring 76 exceptional pieces, the collection is crafted with a meticulous approach using white, yellow, and pink gold, resembling the intricate lace found in many of the founder’s exquisite haute couture creations.
“This collection honors Monsieur Christian Dior’s two great passions: the refined grace of haute couture and the abundant floral beauty of the Milly-la-Forêt landscapes,” Victoire elaborates. “Elegantly shaped motifs unveil floral borders, while lace-like scenery is accentuated with tiny pearls and pavé gemstones.” The light, almost otherworldly essence of the necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings allows each gem to radiate brightly, echoing the fragility of nature’s finest lacework, akin to raindrops dancing on a spider’s web or sunlight filtering through mottled leaves.
