Bureau Betak Designs Dior's Summer 2027 Show with Geometric Runway in Mist

For Dior's Summer 2027 women's show, Bureau Betak created a scenography in Paris's Jardin des Tuileries, contrasting a precise white runway with natural elements.

A long, white runway traversed Le Bassin Octogonal, surrounded by water and enveloped in mist. Camphor trees were placed within the basin, introducing organic forms that interrupted the runway's strict geometry. The audience was seated around the perimeter, observing the models move through the mist-filled landscape.

The installation featured a tension between the architectural runway and the irregular camphor trees. Mist softened the scene, altering the landscape's appearance. The camphor trees are intended to be replanted after the show, incorporating a lasting natural element.

The collection's invitation also reflected this theme, featuring wénwán walnuts. This references a Chinese tradition of handling walnuts to develop a patina, highlighting a slower sense of time and the value of natural variation and imperfection, mirroring the set design's balance of structure and nature.
