Vogues featured the story of Victoire de Castellane’s 20 year career as creative director of Dior Fine Jewelry in June 2019. The jewelry visionary had no predecessor, hired by LVMH chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault in 1999 from Chanel. Emily Farra described de Castellane’s Dior jewelry sensibility as “inspiration from the life and work of Christian Dior himself, drawing on his love of flowers, his penchant for lace, his pink childhood home in Granville, France, their shared fascination with Versailles, and even the chairs Dior used in his early shows (de Castellane cleverly rendered the humble caning motif in gold). At the same time, de Castellane has established signatures of her own, like asymmetry (rarely does a pair of her earrings actually match), hidden symbols, and tiny apparatuses within a piece of jewelry, like a concealed watch or a movable drawer that slides beneath a ring.”

De Castellane shares Dior Women’s creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri’s feminist sensibilities. predicting that in 2020 and over the next decade, women will take a leadership role in acquiring fine jewelry for themselves as part of a larger movement where women are increasingly outspoken in culture and politics. “Many of our clients are women, and, for me, it’s a victory. When women buy jewelry for themselves, I think they’re also buying protection. The jewelry gives them power. Before, men bought it for them as a gift, and they had the power. Now, you don’t need to wait for a man to buy you jewelry.”
