Cordelia de Castellane’s Flourishing Flower-Filled French & English Garden

Dior Maison & Baby Dior Artistic Director Cordelia de Castellane lives a life full of flowers: ‘I always say that a house without flowers has no soul.’ Designing collections of exquisite homeware and childrenswear which are often inspired by flowers — and by her muse, Christian Dior — it should come of no surprise that Cordelia’s weekend escape is a living and breathing work of art.

As we tour Cordelia de Castellane’s dream garden, it’s easy to notice the parallels between her formative years and her botanical paradise: ‘I grew up spending half of my time in nature as I was in Switzerland, so for me it was back to my roots to be back in the countryside on the weekends.’ Come along as we explore Cordelia de Castellane’s blooming French & English garden in the north of France.

– I saw the garden, and I saw, you know, the potential that I could do in the garden, like a dream garden that I was always dreaming of. We wanted a weekend house next to Paris. I didn’t want to do something too French. I didn’t want to have too much symmetry.

I wanted to have something more English. I was always attracted by English gardens. [jazz music] Also, the colors of the flowers always, you know, inspire me to do my color palettes for all the Baby Dior collection as well. I always say that a house with no flowers has no soul.

It’s very important for me. So I have a place in my garden which actually is completely about cutting flowers. It’s very strange because when we started to move the lines of the garden and create the garden together, suddenly also my interior changed. The house really took life

When the garden started to be there.
