For the second consecutive year, the sun-kissed Sundara Beach Club will host an exquisite display of haute couture by Dior. The event includes a captivating pop-up store, café installation, and captivating “Diorized” details at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay. Running from July 15 to September 10, 2023, this year’s event is extended by two weeks due to popular demand and features on a larger scale. Fashion enthusiasts and aesthetes can indulge in Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Dioriviera Summer Capsule Collection while immersing themselves in the iconic style amidst breathtaking views of the shimmering sea.
Upon arrival at Sundara, guests are greeted by a remarkable entrance installation created by the French design house, featuring life-sized sculptures of sand animals. Dior’s interior designer will transform the beach club’s spacious interior, spanning approximately 1,300 square meters (14,000 square feet), into a homage to the enchanting world of Dior. The customized setting will showcase original furniture, merchandising displays, fitting rooms, and a café, all designed to evoke a sense of escapism and enchantment.
Taking inspiration from the picturesque oceanside location, the pop-up store on Sundara’s mezzanine level integrates natural materials into every aspect of its design. From seagrass carpets and rattan chairs to hanging lamps and soothing tones of beige, cream, and wood, the ambiance harmonizes with the beach environment. Artful sand walls with the Dior logo, as well as sculptures of animals and lush foliage crafted entirely from sand, add a touch of creativity. Throughout the beach club and restaurant, every corner is an Instagram-worthy delight, featuring the dusky pink Dior Toile de Jouy Sauvage pattern adorning billowing mezzanine shades, day beds, cushions, umbrellas, the bar counter, and even the DJ booth. The highlight of the experience is a 57-meter-long (187-foot) underwater artwork installation showcasing the Dioriviera logo.
Randy Shimabuku, the General Manager of Four Seasons Resorts Bali, expresses pride in being the first Four Seasons property worldwide to collaborate with Dioriviera. He highlights the alignment of both brands in their commitment to delivering high-end, luxurious, and unforgettable experiences that celebrate the beauty of life. Mathilde Adam, Senior Director of Marketing at Four Seasons Resort Bali, adds that this year’s event surpasses expectations, building upon the success of the previous year. With breathtaking sand sculpture entrances and Dior design elements throughout the restaurant and bar area, the experience invites guests to anticipate the unexpected, from Dior-decorated buggies to sun beds and cabanas.
The Dioriviera Summer Capsule Collection offers a wildly beautiful assortment infused with Dior’s signature la dolce vita. The collection reimagines Dior classics, showcasing the timeless Toile de Jouy Sauvage motif in soft shades such as creams, greys, light pinks, and blues, featuring playful patterns of tigers, monkeys, and reptiles. The pattern graces skirts, dresses, shorts, scarves, and swimsuits, are perfect for chic afternoons at Sundara, as well as Dior’s iconic bags such as the Lady D-Lite and the Dior Book Tote. Other notable pieces include the Dior Silk Top, Dway mules, J’Adior pumps, and the Lady Dior Wicker with its lining.
Capturing the essence of laidback Mediterranean elegance, breezy marinières, and straw hats complement the seasonal allure of Dioriviera. Dior Maison’s summer essentials extend the sun-kissed wardrobe, featuring a yoga mat, surfboard, parasol, and beach games, all inviting blissful days by the seaside. Delicate decorative objects, tableware, placemats, and embroidered cushions pay tribute to the art of living well, while an exclusive Bali-inspired line promises to surprise and enchant.
The DIOR café provides the perfect opportunity to fully immerse oneself in the spectacular experience. A collaboration between Sundara’s Chef de Cuisine David Gavin and Executive Pastry Chef David Peduzzi, the inspired menu showcases French Mediterranean flavors and will be available throughout the entire beach club.
