Justine Picardie on-stage discussing Dior and Scotland at Festival of Fashion in 2024

Three guest speakers on-stage at Festival of Fashion in 2024

Dior and Scotland

Scotland has long provided the inspiration, textiles, and skilled artisans to support the work of major global fashion houses. In the summer, Maria Grazia Chiuri staged Dior’s Cruise 2025 collection at the magnificent Drummond Castle, 70 years after Christian Dior presented his first couture show in Glasgow.

A trio of Dior’s creative collaborators came together to discuss this landmark show: Justine Picardie (author and former Editor in Chief of Harper’s Bazaar), Scottish designer Samantha McCoach (Le Kilt), and Margaret Ann Macleod (CEO of Harris Tweed Hebrides Ltd). They also explored Dior’s historic association with Scotland and the ways in which Scottish culture and history continued to shape contemporary fashion.
