Following Paris Fashion Week, creative director Jonathan Anderson has unveiled the details of Dior's new DiorAlps 2027 winter capsule. The collection aims to demonstrate that branded pieces are relevant to wear not only at elite ski resorts but also in everyday urban settings. The line includes both high-tech outerwear and unexpected collectible accessories, cozy knitwear, and shearling-lined footwear.

Fun Accessories and Natural Motifs

The cutest hero of the capsule is a small fluffy penguin made from gold-tone metal, black leather, and a shearling-effect material. Standing just 6.5 centimeters tall, it is priced at 990 dollars. The back of the accessory features a signature Dior medallion. Another unusual detail is a voluminous pinecone priced at 950 dollars, crafted from brown leather and gold-tone hardware, continuing Anderson's tradition of drawing on natural motifs.

Cozy Knitwear and Iconic Pieces

One of the collection's standout sweaters is designed like a knitted winter postcard featuring snowy mountains and a forest, crafted using the intarsia technique from 100% wool for 3,600 dollars. Another sweater is adorned with a Scandinavian pattern and silver rhinestones for 2,700 dollars. The iconic Dior Book Tote is entirely covered in light shearling, contrasted by black embroidery and a leather closure, priced at 5,000 dollars for the medium version.

Footwear and Winter Wardrobe Details

For snowy weather, the brand offered high suede boots with a chunky sole for 1,850 dollars, while house slippers have been transformed into full-fledged outdoor footwear—light brown suede mules with a shearling lining retailing for 1,250 dollars. The capsule also features a D-Frost shearling ushanka hat for 2,200 dollars, a leather cardholder for 500 dollars, and a pom-pom beanie for 810 dollars.

Controversial Data

While official Dior press releases emphasize the exclusivity and meticulous craftsmanship behind every element of the DiorAlps 2027 capsule, some fashion critics point out the sharp price increases for smaller accessories like the metal penguin and decorative pinecone, questioning the practicality of purchasing them compared to functional wardrobe essentials like ski pants and jackets, whose prices vary depending on the sales region.
