Les Fantômes du Cinéma

Wed, 28 May 2025

Enter into the world of #DiorCruise 2026 with 'Les Fantômes du Cinéma', a film by Matteo Garrone that conjures up the intersection of temporalities and identities conveyed through Maria Grazia Chiuri’s new collection. The grounds of Rome’s Villa Albani Torlonia are the setting for dreamlike scenes in which ghostly figures clad in costumes associated with the films of Fellini, Visconti, Pasolini and more interact with the models as they prepare to unveil the House's latest creations. Featuring cameos by the photographer Brigitte and members of the House’s ateliers, this enchanting episode of magical realism is a poetic paean to the powerful femininity the Creative Director of Women’s collections has championed since the start.
