Yuriko Takagi Captures the Movement of Life
What is Dior by Yuriko Takagi?
It is a new photography book published by Rizzoli, in which Japanese photographer Yuriko Takagi reinterprets Dior’s designs, from Christian Dior’s own creations to those of his successors. The book explores Dior’s heritage through her dreamlike, surreal lens.
What makes Yuriko Takagi’s vision unique?
Takagi is known for her oneiric, poetic style. She focuses not just on finished couture but on the toiles—the dress outlines that Olivier Saillard calls the “Outlines of the Dress.” Her approach is both archaeological and lyrical, capturing the essence of Dior through movement, haziness, and atmosphere rather than pure documentation.
Why the focus on toiles instead of just finished couture gowns?
Toiles reveal the skeleton and purity of Dior’s designs—the raw form before embellishment. By photographing them, Takagi highlights the artistry and architecture behind the garments, offering a dialogue between Dior’s legacy and her own visual interpretation.
How does the book reflect Christian Dior’s own philosophy?
Christian Dior spoke of fashion as “the movement of life.” Takagi’s photography captures this by giving the garments a sense of breath and motion, as if they are alive in her dreamscapes. Her hazy, fluid imagery transforms clothes into living protagonists.
Do flowers appear in the book?
Yes, flowers are a unifying motif. They link Dior’s Artistic Directors across eras and symbolize Takagi’s admiration for nature. Within the images, the garments and flowers perform almost like characters in a ballet.
When will the book be available and who is publishing it?
Dior by Yuriko Takagi will be published by Rizzoli and will be available in bookstores starting September 2025.

dior maison ranelagh
What is the Dior Maison Ranelagh Collection?
It’s Dior’s latest homeware collection, designed by Cordélia de Castellane, and named after the Ranelagh district of Paris—an area known for understated elegance and historic charm. The collection reimagines French tradition for the modern table.
What does it look like?
At first glance: delicate. But look closer and you’ll see the layers—fine Limoges porcelain painted with pastoral landscapes, garden scenes, and hand-drawn animals. It’s whimsical, but grown up. Like toile de Jouy, if it learned restraint.
Is it just tableware?
Primarily, yes. Plates, mugs, trays, and bowls—all designed to elevate everyday rituals. But more than objects, the pieces read like storytelling on porcelain: a walk through a country garden, etched in ink and fired in luxury.
Can it be used every day?
Technically yes, though emotionally, you might want to save it for slow mornings and late lunches that stretch into candlelight. It’s practical enough for use, poetic enough to feel like ceremony.
What makes it Dior?
The tension between formality and freedom. The care in craft. The way it captures the spirit of the house—not in logos, but in attitude: romantic, refined, and always a little unexpected.
Why Ranelagh?
The name speaks to a certain Parisian quiet—a reference, perhaps, to a time when elegance was private. This is not the kind of collection that begs for attention. It simply deserves it.
