Fashion / Milan
A new House of Dior in Milan.
Parisian in spirit, Milanese in character. On Via Monte Napoleone, the new House of Dior brings fashion into conversation with gardens, art and food. There is a thread to follow from one floor to the next, and eventually to the table.

The idea of a house
Designed by Peter Marino over three floors, the new address brings Jonathan Anderson’s collections together with jewellery, fragrance and homeware. Dior announced its opening for 18 September 2026.
Seen together, these worlds suggest an idea of style that reaches into everyday surroundings. A room, an artwork or an object can express something of a fashion house’s sensibility, just as a garment does.
Where the city meets the garden
Nature runs through the design. Fabric remnants from Dior’s workshops become animated gardens in the windows, while terraces and courtyards developed with landscape designer Peter Wirtz carry the greenery into the building.
In a city with such a feeling for architecture and materials, these decisions give the address a sense of place. The garden brings a little freedom to a world of carefully considered lines.
At Monsieur Dior’s table
The mood shifts at Monsieur Dior by Enrico Bartolini, the house’s restaurant. In a setting also designed by Peter Marino and opening to the outdoors, the chef offers an Italian interpretation of Dior’s creative world.
Fashion and cooking share a pleasure in precise combinations, carefully chosen materials and memorable details. Bringing them together gives the visit a natural continuation, with time for a meal and a conversation.

The ABJ perspective
An address can change the way a city stays with you. What appeals to us about this opening is the chance to enjoy several sides of Milan in one place: a collection, a piece of architecture, a table worth lingering over. These are pleasures to choose for how they make us feel, and to give a little time.
