  House of Dior Ginza

  B1F, 1F, 2F, 3F, 4F Fashion

  Japanese influences permeated through Christian Dior’s formative years and re-emerged in the collections he designed for his self-named couture house. One such example is Jardin Japonais (Japanese garden), the 1953 dress celebrated in Dior’s 2017 spring-summer haute couture show on the GINZA SIX rooftop. Held in April 2017, the show also signalled the opening of Tokyo’s first House of Dior. Wrapped in a Yoshio Taniguchi-designed façade and spanning five floors, the flagship showcases the maison’s full line-up of women’s ready-to-wear, menswear, jewellery and accessories. The Dior Maison homewares collection, which includes porcelain from the famed kiln town of Arita, shares the upper floor with a pastel-hued café serving an exclusive menu by French patissier Pierre Hermé.

  Céline

  1F, 2F Fashion

  Before you step inside Céline, the luxury fashion house’s first Ginza flagship, take a closer look at the shop’s façade. Comprised of thousands of unique ceramic elements, handmade by mino-yaki artisans, the façade is an exploration of the concepts of regionality and time. These themes extend throughout the two-level interior, where earthen materials such as marble, terrazzo and industrial elements provide the backdrop for the French brand’s womenswear, leather goods, shoes and accessories.
