Dior Opens Milan Flagship with Contemporary Art by Pistoletto and Clemente
On September 18, 2026, Dior opened its latest boutique, the House of Dior, located at Via Montenapoleone 12 in Milan. This establishment, crafted by Peter Marino, harmoniously fuses fashion, architecture, art, and gastronomy across three levels. It showcases a variety of offerings, including accessories, leather goods, footwear, menswear, and women's collections by Jonathan Anderson, alongside Lady Dior bags and high jewelry designed by Victoire de Castellane, as well as private salons. The storefronts, constructed from textile waste, evoke a whimsical landscape adorned with wisteria and wildlife. Emphasizing nature, green walls and botanical features by Peter Wirtz are prominent, while contemporary art includes a portrait of Monsieur Dior by Michelangelo Pistoletto. The restaurant, Monsieur Dior, also designed by Marino and led by chef Enrico Bartolini, offers a menu inspired by haute couture.
