market-auction · 2026-04-20

Bonhams New York will host an online auction titled 'From the Vault: Dior' from March 9 to 20, 2026, featuring 127 lots from a private collection. The sale highlights bags, ready-to-wear, and jewelry representing multiple creative periods at the fashion house. Leadership eras of John Galliano, Gianfranco Ferré, Raf Simons, and Maria Grazia Chiuri—Dior's first female creative director—are all represented. Each designer reinterpreted Christian Dior's original vision while maintaining core values of elegance, structure, and craftsmanship. Dior himself, a pivotal 20th-century fashion figure, reshaped post-war women's dressing and founded a major luxury house with his revolutionary February 1947 debut collection. The auction celebrates both the collector's discerning taste and the Maison's exceptional craftsmanship.
