Some collections are born from a place. For Dior Maison‘s latest launch, that place is Milly-la-Forêt, the village south of Paris where Christian Dior found refuge from the intensity of fashion and cultivated one of his greatest passions: gardens.

Named Les Milly, the new collection by Cordelia de Castellane pays tribute to this intimate chapter of the couturier’s life. It was in Milly-la-Forêt, at the Moulin du Coudret acquired in 1949, that Dior retreated between collections, surrounded by flowers, orchards and the quiet rhythm of the countryside. The landscape would become an enduring source of inspiration, shaping a visual language that continues to define the House today.

Crafted in Italy using traditional mouth-blown glass techniques, the collection transforms some of Dior’s most beloved symbols into delicate decorative motifs. Bees, butterflies, ladybirds, flowers and lucky clovers appear across water glasses, wine glasses, bowls and jugs, creating pieces that feel suspended between craftsmanship and storytelling.

The collection also reflects the sensibility of Cordelia de Castellane, whose work for Dior Maison frequently draws on gardens, seasonal blooms and the poetry of nature. Here, those influences merge with the heritage of the House, resulting in objects that celebrate the art of the table while evoking the spirit of a spring garden in full bloom.

Les Milly is a reminder that some of Dior’s most enduring inspirations were found far from the runway.
