（Singapore, 29.09.2025）Following a highly acclaimed premiere in New York earlier this year, UBS House of Craft x Dior is making its Asian debut in Singapore, marking a significant milestone for both art and haute couture. The exhibition will run from November 21 to 23, 2025, at the New Art Museum Singapore, part of Whitestone Gallery, and will be open to the public free of charge.
The expanded showcase honors eight decades of Dior’s creative legacy, featuring archival masterpieces selected by renowned fashion icon Carine Roitfeld, former Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Paris, and interpreted through the distinct visual language of acclaimed artist Brigitte Niedermair, a longtime collaborator of Dior. The exhibition brings together creations from Dior’s seven visionary creative directors — from Christian Dior himself to Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons, and Maria Grazia Chiuri, with a special tribute to Kim Jones.

For this exhibition, Dior opened its archives to us — allowing us to revisit the house’s most iconic creations and reinterpret them through a new lens. It’s a journey through time, style, and imagination — a tribute to the artistry that continues to define couture. —— Brigitte Niedermair
Curated by Carine Roitfeld, UBS House of Craft x Dior is a celebration of technique, heritage, and innovation. The exhibition highlights how each Dior era reflects a unique creative philosophy — from the architectural lines of the 1950s to the romantic minimalism and gender fluidity of the modern age. Niedermair’s photographs, combined with Roitfeld’s refined styling, bring new life to Dior’s archival pieces, illuminating the craftsmanship that has shaped the Maison’s enduring influence.
For UBS, the House of Craft series exemplifies its dedication to celebrating mastery — across fashion, horology, and gastronomy. The collaboration with Dior underscores how craftsmanship, precision, and vision connect diverse disciplines, from couture ateliers to wealth management.
“Singapore stands at the crossroads of heritage and innovation — the perfect stage to celebrate the spirit of craft,” said Jin Yee Young, Co-Head of UBS Global Wealth Management Asia Pacific and Country Head UBS Singapore. “We are delighted to partner with Dior and Carine Roitfeld for this landmark exhibition, reflecting the shared pursuit of excellence and creativity that defines both UBS and Dior.”
“This alliance is above all a celebration of excellence, elegance, and savoir-faire,” said Olivier Bialobos, Deputy Managing Director of Global Communication & Image, Christian Dior Couture and Parfums Christian Dior，“From Christian Dior’s revolutionary ‘New Look’ to the bold reinterpretations by successive designers, this exhibition showcases our timeless heritage — constantly reimagined through dialogue between past, present, and future.”
