Christian Dior Couture celebrates women artisans on the 4th edition of the Prix des Artisanes
At Dior, we are designers of responsible futures.
Christian Dior Couture was honored to celebrate the exceptional talent and craftsmanship of our women artisans during the award ceremony of the 4th edition of the Prix des Artisanes, co-created by LVMH and ELLE Magazine, under the patronage of the French Ministry of Culture.
This year’s edition showcased the creative contributions of the House of Dior and LVMH Maisons in producing the iconic creations for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The ceremony brought together a distinguished jury of experts, including representatives from LVMH Maisons, journalists, and industry leaders. The laureates were celebrated across five categories: Fashion Crafts, Jewelry and Watchmaking Crafts, Design and Tableware Crafts, Heritage Preservation Crafts, and Wine and Vine Crafts.
Pauline Déroulède, LVMH and Dior ambassador athlete, three-time French Champion and Vice-Champion of France in Wheelchair Tennis, shared her inspiring journey during the ceremony. Joining her on stage, #ElenaRuyatkina, Première Main at Christian Dior Couture, provided a rare behind-the-scenes look into her exceptional work on the iconic outfits for #LadyGaga, #AyaNakamura, and #JulietteArmanet at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. #Elena shed light on the technical mastery required for these projects, from the assembly of the garments to the seamless integration of luminous threads into Juliette Armanet's design and managing the large volumes of Lady Gaga’s dresses.
The House extends our warm congratulations to all the laureates and participants who continue to elevate craftsmanship to new heights.
