Dior celebrates summer in Santa Barbara with its Dioriviera takeover at the Rosewood Miramar Beach
Actor/dancer Melissa Barrera wears a Dior Dioriviera swimsuit, $880, and hat, price upon request. Dioriviera umbrella, price upon request.
Dioriviera deck chair, $1,200.
Summer essentials such as skateboards, visors, parasols, and fans—all covered in scenic Toile de Jouy motifs—highlight the Dioriviera takeover of two bungalows at the Rosewood Miramar Beach hotel in Montecito. The pop-up boutique, open through September 6, houses Maria Grazia Chiuri’s summer capsule of raspberry, black, or chartreuse women’s ready-to-wear; accessories; and D-Connect sneakers, espadrilles, and mules for the French fashion house. Dior’s elegant patterns, woven throughout the collection, elevate everyday objects and resort mainstays, even beach chairs, into instant heirlooms. There are also book totes and Lady D-Lite and Caro bags. The bold colors, an early nod to the house’s fall palette, enliven beach games and hammocks, plus a limited-edition customizable Vespa 946. 1759 S. Jameson Lane, Montecito, 805-900-8388, DIOR.COM.
