The Dubai Mall‘s new extension is exclusively dedicated to leading luxury brands, and obviously, the house of Dior joins the ranks with a brand new outpost. The eagerness of luxury brands to be present in Dubai is indicative of its significance as a shopping destination on a global scale. For Dior, this is a second outpost in the city, and sees a shared retail space for both its women’s and men’s lines, albeit in separate sections and each with a distinctly different decor. The women’s floor presents ready-to-wear, bags, accessories, shoes and watches in a number of intimate rooms, decorated in a monochrome palette of grey and silver hues. The sense of luxury is further boosted by a number of artworks and mirror-effect furniture, such as the Galet table by Guillaume Piechaud and Maria Pergay’s Gerbe table. The Dior Homme section shows full understatement and a matching palette of materials and colours that’s embellished by shiny chrome finishings. The Dior store opening is marked by several pieces from its Autum/Winter 2018 collection which have been revisited. Among these, sunglasses in a limited edition of thirty pairs, J’Adior, Dio(r)evolution and Dioraddict bags, a Dior Homme t-shirt with golden bee embroidery, as well as the BMX Serie 2 bike from the collaboration between Dior Homme and Bogarde.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
