Dior celebrates the 2026 holiday season with Christian Dior’s Night in Color, an animated short film commissioned from award-winning French filmmaker Sylvain Chomet, known for The Triplets of Belleville and The Illusionist.

Inspired by key moments in the House’s history, the film imagines the friendship between Christian Dior and Marlene Dietrich, the House’s connection to Hollywood and the creation of the iconic Junon dress from 1949. Its story follows a last-minute request from Hollywood for a colorful Dior gown after a film director decides to shoot in Technicolor. As Dior’s seamstresses work through the night to create the dress, Chomet portrays them as winged bees, reflecting Monsieur Dior’s affectionate nickname for his ateliers’ artisans.

In addition, the story will extend into a holiday collection of ready-to-wear, accessories and homeware, alongside Dior boutique windows worldwide.
