Why Dior Maison's Constellation is Your Halloween Party's Must-Have Look

'Tis the season for all things spooky but eschew the kitsch path and set your table with Dior Maison's elegantly gothic collection, Constellation.

Dior Maison ups its goth cred by launching a fabulously mysterious tableware collection just in time for the Halloween festivities. But this being a storied French couture house, do not expect anything less than works of art–literally. The range comprises a full-fledged dinner service which includes tableware, glassware, and cutlery.

Available in various sizes, the fine Limoges porcelain plates and dishes are adorned with Italian artist Pietro Ruffo’s exquisite line drawings. Ruffo had previously created Dior's fantastical set for the house's haute couture autumn/winter 2017-2018 show and collaborated with Dior's creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, to create spectacular outfits representing the zodiac signs for the Venice Art in 2019.

For the plates, Ruffo was inspired by vintage tarot cards and the concept of tarot reading. His intricate illustration rendered in black and white conveys an alluring mystique while referencing Monsieur Dior’s love for astrology.

Perfect for centrepieces, Dior Maison worked with legendary French craftsman Jean Roger for the uncannily realistic ceramic pumpkins. Roger, who established his workshop in Paris in 1947, has been creating works inspired by nature, fantasy, and the exotic for the likes of Jackie Kennedy and Princess Margaret since then. The meticulously detailed gourds are so mesmerising, they'll find a place not just on a festive dinner table but also on a collector's shelf.
