The acclaimed actress, a loyal friend and muse of the Maison for many years, shows us some of her favourite books that can be found in the National Bookshop of France, as well as telling us some of the most relevant curiosities of these publications. Among her carefully chosen selection are American Chimeras by Todd Haynes; On Photography by Susan Sontag; When we cease to understand the world by Benjamin Labatut; My brilliant friend by Elena Ferrante; Hope in the dark by Rebecca Solnit; and Shirin Neshat by Stammer Sxhmitz.

All of them fit inside the Dior Tote Bag, one of the most celebrated icons of accessories, which this Summer 24 season is updated with the Dior 4 Saisons motif. This dreamlike print is the result of a captivating dialogue between Maria Grazia Chiuri and acclaimed Italian-born visual artist Pietro Ruffo. The result is an exceptional print with floral motifs in all kinds of colours emerging under a radiant sun, paying homage to Monsieur Dior‘s passion for botany and the beauty of nature.
