Christian Dior's Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 campaign, created by Publicis in France, revives the Miss Dior legacy through Pop couture silhouettes, XXL graffiti
Christian Dior Autumn Winter 2024 Rewrites Its Own Archive
Christian Dior's Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 campaign is a single-film fashion campaign, created by Publicis and published in France in July 2024, that reimagines the Miss Dior persona through Pop couture silhouettes, oversized graffiti-style branding, and a late-1960s apartment setting referencing the House's first ready-to-wear collection.
The campaign operates under the hashtag DiorAW24 and centres on what the House describes, per dior.com, as the concept of the modern-day Miss Dior. Models move through a mysterious interior space styled to evoke the transitional mood of the late 1960s, a period that coincides with Dior's earliest forays into ready-to-wear. The creative rationale is deliberate: by anchoring the Dior Autumn-Winter 2024 collection in that specific historical moment, Maria Grazia Chiuri — the House's artistic director — frames the season as a return to a founding democratic impulse rather than a departure from couture tradition.
The campaign's most visible design signatures are its Dior XXL prints and Dior graffiti prints, both of which place the Miss Dior logo at scale across jackets, skirts, and stocking seams. These oversized typographic gestures function simultaneously as brand identifiers and as references to street-culture aesthetics, creating a productive tension between institutional luxury and youth-culture irreverence. The season's key Dior bags punctuate each look, grounding the more experimental silhouettes in the commercial language of Dior ready-to-wear. Published in France as a film medium campaign with a single media asset, the work reached more than 45,000 views on archive platforms, establishing immediate resonance within the European fashion press cycle ahead of the autumn season.
Christian Dior occupies a distinctive position in the French luxury fashion market by holding both couture authority and a substantial ready-to-wear business simultaneously. The Dior Autumn-Winter 2024 campaign leans into that duality rather than resolving it, using Pop couture as a conceptual bridge between the House's haute tradition and the broader, younger audience that ready-to-wear collections address.
In France, the luxury fashion sector remains a cornerstone of cultural and economic identity. Europe accounts for a significant share of global luxury fashion activity, according to fashionista.com, and France in particular anchors the continent's prestige positioning. Within that context, Christian Dior competes directly with Louis Vuitton and Chanel, both of which maintain comparable scale and global brand recognition. Where Louis Vuitton has historically led on monogram-driven leather goods and Chanel on timeless codes, Dior's strategic differentiation under Maria Grazia Chiuri has been to foreground archival research as a live creative practice rather than a nostalgic exercise. The DiorAW24 campaign makes this strategy legible to a broad audience by translating archival references — Dior's first ready-to-wear collection, the late 1960s silhouette — into immediately readable visual language through Dior graffiti prints and Dior XXL prints.
The choice of a mysterious apartment setting, as documented on dior.com, also speaks to a consumer insight about how luxury fashion is now consumed: in intimate, personal environments as much as on runways or in retail spaces. The campaign's film format serves this insight directly, constructing a world the viewer inhabits rather than observes from a distance. By publishing in France in July 2024, Dior timed the campaign to lead European editorial coverage ahead of the autumn buying season, reinforcing its position as a cultural reference point within its home market.
Director Alice Schillaci leads the creative execution of the Dior Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 campaign film, with photography by Sarah Jones — both credited in production documentation associated with the work. The production company North Six supported the physical realisation of the campaign, as confirmed by multiple archival records of the project.
The apartment setting chosen for the DiorAW24 film is not incidental. It is a controlled environment that allows the camera to hold on fabric, texture, and typographic detail without the competing visual noise of an exterior or runway context. Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup, described the season's beauty aesthetic in British Vogue on February 28, 2024 as "all very controlled and ladylike" — a phrase that equally characterises the film's overall visual register. The mise-en-scène is precise rather than spontaneous, each frame constructed to foreground the Dior Pop couture silhouettes and their relationship to the apartment's mid-century interior surfaces.
Contributor credits also include Olivier Schawalder and Elin Svahn, whose involvement in the visual production adds further depth to the campaign's creative team, as noted in production documentation reviewed by anneofcarversville.com. The Dior graffiti prints and Dior XXL prints that define the season's surface language are photographed with a flatness that deliberately recalls print media aesthetics, linking the film's visual grammar back to the late-1960s fashion magazines that originally contextualised Dior's first ready-to-wear collection. That self-referential quality — a fashion film that cites the history of fashion photography — is among the more sophisticated formal choices in the campaign's creative execution. Maria Grazia Chiuri's creative direction sustains this internal coherence across every look, ensuring that the Miss Dior bags and the typographic branding read as part of a single designed world rather than as individual commercial assets.
The Dior Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 campaign generated more than 45,000 views and over 1,000 likes on campaign archive platforms following its publication in France in July 2024, according to Clapboard's own platform data. These figures position the campaign as a strong performer within the fashion film category for the period, particularly given its single-asset format, which concentrates audience engagement rather than distributing it across multiple executions.
No independently verified third-party performance data — including paid media reach, earned media value, or retail attribution — is publicly available for this specific campaign. What the platform metrics do confirm is that the work attracted sustained professional interest, with 26 documented comments indicating active critical engagement rather than passive consumption. For a campaign built around archival reinterpretation and typographic experimentation, that level of discourse suggests the creative strategy achieved its intended effect of sparking conversation within the fashion industry.
Clapboard rates the Christian Dior Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 campaign at 70 out of 100. The score reflects the campaign's formal sophistication, the coherence of its historical reference system, and the effectiveness of its Dior Pop couture visual identity. Points of restraint in the score relate to the campaign's single-asset scope, which limits creative breadth, and to the relatively contained geographic rollout anchored in France rather than a simultaneous global deployment. As a cultural positioning exercise for the Dior ready-to-wear audience, however, the campaign demonstrates a clear strategic logic and a high level of craft execution relative to its production ambitions.

Clapboard rates the Christian Dior Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 campaign at 70 out of 100. The score recognises the campaign's formal sophistication and coherent historical reference system while noting that its single-asset scope and France-anchored rollout limit the breadth that a higher score would require.
The DiorAW24 campaign explicitly references Dior's first ready-to-wear collection and the transitional mood of the late 1960s, as described on dior.com. Maria Grazia Chiuri uses this historical anchor to frame Dior Pop couture as a continuation of the House's democratic impulse, linking archive-era silhouettes to contemporary Dior ready-to-wear for a modern audience.
