The Dior Cruise 2026 collection is a poetic reflection—a moment suspended in time where imagination takes center stage. Inspired by the idea of bella confusione (“beautiful confusion”), once suggested by Ennio Flaiano for Fellini’s 8½, the collection unfolds in Rome—a city steeped in art, cinema, theater, and fashion.
Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri draws inspiration from Mimì Pecci-Blunt, a magnetic figure in 20th-century Rome, Paris, and New York. Her legendary Bal de l’Imagination becomes the starting point for a visual symphony where disguise, elegance, and fantasy blur together.
