New from Dior! La Mini D De Dior Têtes De Mort
July 26, 2019“Whatever you do -for work or pleasure – do it with passion! Live with passion!” as Christian Dior used to say.
Releasing this August, the new Tête de Mort collection designed by Victoire de Castellane is inspired by Christian Dior’s love of life and reinterprets
the Latin sayings “Memento Mori” and “Carpe Diem”, two precepts reminding us to live each moment to the full.
This year, the dials are decorated with mysterious characters that do not reveal all their secrets at first glance. Upon closer observation, we discover
that the piece with the mauve skull is decorated with a tiny clover in tsavorite garnets, a nod at one of Christian Dior’s favorite lucky charms. The
other piece in pink mother-of-pearl is adorned with a crown, symbol of royalty and Versailles. Behind the choice of colors lies a new enigma, as each
shade symbolizes a state of mind: peace with the powdery pink and balance with the delicate violet.
