On Thursday, May 21, 2026, paying tribute to the strong ties between Dior and Japan, Dior will open the 'House of Dior Shinsaibashi' in the heart of the vibrant Shinsaibashi district in Osaka.
The undulating facade, designed by Japanese architect Sosuke Fujimoto, is a technological masterpiece. As an homage to the excellence of haute couture, it evokes the flowing drapes and overlapping fabrics of the dresses designed by Christian Dior.
Crafted by architect Peter Marino, this 'Kingdom of Dreams' spans four floors and is connected by a grand staircase arranged around a sculpture by Alice Aycock. In a light-filled space adorned with eternal Dior codes such as Versailles parquet, the Maison's diverse universe—from its heritage to timeless modernity—is revealed.
The ground floor features women's accessories, shoes, and a curated selection of leather goods, as well as 'La Collection Privée' fragrances and fine jewelry creations. A vertical garden transforms this sophisticated space into a lush haven of tranquility.
Moving to the second floor, the ready-to-wear collection by Jonathan Anderson is displayed alongside exceptional bags. The men's floor on the third level features navy blue armchairs that exude contemporary charm, reflecting the boldness of the men's collection.
As if reflecting the friendships Christian Dior, who was also a gallerist, built with artists of his time, the boutique exhibits a carefully selected range of art pieces.
Fascinating works by his friend Christian Bérard, who advised Dior on his first boutique 'Colifichets,' adorn this museum-like boutique.
Furthermore, visitors can admire remarkable pieces, ranging from a 'Ginko' bench by Claude Lalanne and art furniture by Franck Evennou, to Tim Hailand's reinterpretation of the 'Toile de Jouy.'
As a final surprise, encapsulated flowers by Makoto Azuma delicately narrate Monsieur Dior's passion for gardens while elevating the Japanese art of Ikebana to a new form.
To further deepen this unique experience, the restaurant 'Monsieur Dior' promises a timeless moment in a space conceived by Peter Marino as a tribute to gardens.
Anne-Sophie Pic, the female chef with the most Michelin stars, has reinterpreted Dior's history and codes—from 'Cannage' to oval shapes and leopard prints—to prepare a menu specially designed for this extraordinary location.
Dishes with poetic names such as 'La Toile Blanche,' 'Les Pétales,' and 'La Pilote' reveal a couture-like elegance magnificently enhanced by the chef's outstanding skills.
In an enchanting dialogue between French haute cuisine and Japanese ingredients, the finest materials, textures, and combinations are showcased. Information on how to make reservations is available via this link.
