Following a highly acclaimed debut in New York , the UBS House of Craft x Dior exhibition is now arriving in Asia, making its first stop in Singapore. This unique fashion and photography exhibition, dedicated to the craft of couture , will take place from November 21–23, 2025, at the New Art Museum Singapore—part of the Whitestone Gallery. Access to the exhibition will be free to the public.

The Exhibition's Scope and Vision

The expanded exhibition builds on the resounding success of its New York premiere in June 2025. It will showcase the work of all seven of Dior's creative directors across eight decades, with newly added archival masterpieces. The exhibition explores the legacy, technique, innovation, and future of couture.

The exhibition celebrates the defining eras of the House of Dior, featuring works from the visionary Christian Dior and the six artistic directors who have shaped its legacy: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons, and Maria Grazia Chiuri. The program also includes a special tribute to Kim Jones.

The Creative Forces

The program is brought to life by two major fashion figures:

• Curated by Carine Roitfeld: The celebrated former editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris and one of fashion's most influential voices, Roitfeld's inimitable perspective offers a fresh lens on the evolution of couture.
• Exhibition Conceived by Brigitte Niedermair: At the heart of the program is a groundbreaking photographic exhibition conceived and created by the acclaimed artist, who has a 12-year-long relationship with the House of Dior. Niedermair captured iconic creations from each designer, drawing from Dior's vast archives to reflect their individual visions.

Dialogue and Discovery in Singapore

The event highlights the precision, dedication, and artistry that define the craft of couture. Jin Yee Young, Co-Head UBS Global Wealth Management Asia Pacific, noted that Singapore's intersection of heritage and innovation provides a distinctive backdrop for celebrating craftsmanship.

Programming will include a range of intimate conversations, panels, and workshops designed to deepen engagement with the craft of couture. The event aligns Dior's rich history and continuous reinvention with UBS's commitment to excellence and its visionary approach.

The exhibition will be located at the New Art Museum Singapore, the largest exhibition space in Southeast Asia.
