MIDNIGHT STRIKES AT THE CHÂTEAU DE LA COLLE NOIRE.

AT THE END OF A LONG ALLEY LINED WITH CYPRESS TREES, AN ENCHANTED PLACE RISES UP BEFORE OUR EYES, IN THE SHAPE OF CHRISTIAN DIOR’S CHÂTEAU, THE COUTURIER’S FLORAL PARADISE, WHICH APPEARS BENEATH A HEAVENLY CONSTELLATION OF STARS. THIS TIMELESS SETTING REVERBERATES WITH THE PAST JOYS OF COUNTLESS RECEPTIONS HELD BY MONSIEUR DIOR FOR HIS FRIENDS. IT IS A PLACE OF REUNIONS, BRIMMING WITH MEMORIES, WHERE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF DIOR HOSPITALITY AND GENEROSITY IS SHOWN TO ITS FULL EXTENT.

ILLUMINATED BY STARS AND LIGHTLY DUSTED WITH SNOWFLAKES, THE CHÂTEAU OPENS ITS DOORS TO HOST A TIMELESS DINNER, REVEALING A MYRIAD OF PRECIOUS GIFTS, AND EVEN, MAGICAL ANIMALS. IN THE PATTERN CREATED BY ITALIAN ARTIST PIETRO RUFFO, THE STARS DANCE AMONG FLAMBOYANT ANIMALS AND MYTHOLOGICAL FIGURES AT THE HEART OF A RICH AND ABUNDANT WILD FLORA.

“FOR THIS PROJECT, I IMAGINED MYSELF LAYING ON THE GRASS OF THE CHÂTEAU DE LA COLLE NOIRE AT NIGHT, LOOKING TOWARD THE NORTH, ADMIRING THE CONSTELLATIONS AROUND THE NORTH STAR, THE LITTLE DIPPER, THE GIRAFFE, THE LYNX, THE DRAGON, PERSEUS, CASSIOPEIA… WHICH SEEM TO DANCE IN THE SKY. ENCHANTED BY THIS SIGHT, I CAN SMELL FLOWERS ALL AROUND ME: VIOLET, ANGELICA, GARDENIA, JASMINE, ORANGE BLOSSOM, FRANGIPANI, MAGNOLIA, THE SCENTS OF ROSE AND MYRTLE—ALL THESE AROMAS ILLUMINATED BY THE CONSTELLATIONS, BRINGING THEM TO NEW AND MAGICAL LIFE.”
