June 5th 2024.
Hollywood's elite made their way to Perthshire, Scotland for a highly-anticipated event - Dior's first Scottish fashion show in over sixty years. It was a momentous occasion as the French fashion house presented its Cruise 2025 collection in the stunning gardens of Drummond Castle on June 3rd, 2024. This marked the first time since 1960 that Dior held a catwalk show in Scotland, making it a night to remember.
The star-studded guest list was a sight to behold, with big names such as Oscar-winning Jennifer Lawrence, Golden Globe-winner Rosamund Pike, and British tennis sensation Emma Raducanu in attendance. Also present was the talented Anya Taylor-Joy, known for her role in the hit series "The Queen's Gambit". With all eyes on the 17th-century castle and its breathtaking surroundings, it was a truly magical evening.
Dior's creative designer Maria Grazia Chiuri brought her vision to life with the Cruise 2025 collection, incorporating elements that paid homage to Scotland's rich history and culture. The show featured silhouettes that were "dreamed up" by Chiuri, placing Dior's ties with Scotland at the forefront. The collection showcased a blend of traditional Scottish textiles such as tartans, cashmere, and tweeds, with a touch of punk-inspired details like bustiers, buckled straps, and statement sock-and-boot combinations.
Chiuri's collaboration with top local fabric-makers was a top priority, and the result was nothing short of spectacular. Renowned names such as Johnston's of Elgin, Harris Tweed, Esk Cashmere, and Robert Mackie of Scotland joined forces with Samantha McCoach from Le Kilt to create stunning pieces, including the iconic pocketed kilts that graced the Dior runway.
This was not the first time that Dior showcased its appreciation for Scottish culture and history. In fact, the 2024 show was a nod to previous collections in the 1950s and 1960s, such as the 1951 spring/summer collection and the 1955 presentation at the Gleneagles Hotel. A fundraising show for Christian Dior London also took place at Scone Palace in 1960 and at Gosford House in 1961 in support of the Marie Curie Cancer Foundation.
It is no surprise that Christian Dior himself was captivated by Scotland's beauty, as mentioned in his 1956 biography. He wrote, "I lingered a little in Scotland...and was even more struck by the beauty of the country, the castles, and the moors than I had expected." His love for the country was evident in the stunning pieces that graced the Dior runway.
As fashion enthusiasts, we cannot help but wonder - what were Scottish Field's favorite looks from the Cruise 2025 Collection? The stars certainly shone bright that night, with Rosamund Pike, Jennifer Lawrence, and Anya Taylor-Joy stealing the show with their impeccable style. It was a night to remember, and Dior's first Scottish fashion show in sixty years was nothing short of extraordinary.
