Dior Opens the House of Dior New York on 57th Street
This August 2025, Dior officially launched House of Dior New York, its breathtaking four‑story flagship at the iconic corner of 57th Street and Madison Avenue—just steps from the original site where Christian Dior first planted roots in the U.S. in 1948.
A Harmonious Blend of Heritage and Modernity
Designed by celebrated architect Peter Marino, the boutique exudes a refined warmth. Its luminous white‑stone façade and soaring 20‑foot glass windows invite in natural daylight, while a forest‑inspired window installation—complete with animatronic birds and butterflies crafted from upcycled materials by Belgian landscaper Peter Wirtz—pays enchanting tribute to Dior’s love of nature and commitment to sustainability.
Inside, each floor reveals a different chapter of Dior’s universe.:
Ground Floor: Dual entrances for women’s and men’s departments showcase leather goods, La Collection Privée fragrances, ready‑to‑wear, and accessories—set against soft neutral tones, Versailles parquet floors, and rich woods. Colorama Staircase: A dazzling centerpiece featuring miniature iconic items—perfume flacons, mini Lady Dior bags—celebrates over 75 years of the Maison’s legacy.

Art, Exclusivity, and Personalized Service
Second Floor: Women’s ready‑to‑wear, shoes, and commissioned artworks by Charles Jones, Robert Mapplethorpe, Nir Hod; plus a dedicated made‑to‑measure men’s service offering customization down to fabrics, buttons, and linings.
Third Floor: VIP salons exhibiting fine jewelry, ultra‑luxury handbags, and inspiring pieces by artists like Jean‑Michel Othoniel and Miriam Ellner.
A Spa of Couture-Level Wellness
On the fourth floor sits the first permanent Dior Spa in the United States, offering bespoke beauty and wellness treatments. Services include facial and body therapies using advanced technologies—cold laser, ultrasound, microcurrent, LED, cryotherapy, oxygen infusion—and a signature 90‑minute “Happiness” treatment designed to boost mood and wellbeing.
Maison’s Entry into Home and Lifestyle
Alongside the flagship, the new Dior Maison boutique—the first of its kind in the U.S.—showcases home décor and art-de-vivre pieces, from brass candlesticks to playful newspaper-print accessories.
To mark the debut, Dior unveiled exclusive creations crafted just for this location:
Lady Dior bags featuring rose‑gold charms and ethereal floral sculptures by Anna Weyant.
Limited-edition B27 sneakers (only 47 pairs), emblazoned with “House of Dior New York,” referencing Dior’s 1947 visit to the city.
