Each of these exclusive pop-up stores will feature different installations that best represent the capsule collection’s place between a dream and enchantment. In terms of the pieces that can be expected, the apparel collection continues taking notes from Denim Tears’ classic bucket hats, as well as the the varsity lettering, the collection also amalgamates the Denim Tears wreath motif with Dior house codes such as the oblique, throughout the collection.

The stores will also feature video projections that echo the co-branded logo and floral motifs that highlight this Dior Tears collection. Visitors to the space will be able to download a digital production elaborated by artist Azuma Makoto’s studio, intersecting art, fashion, eras and cultures and a crossroad.
