UBS is set to introduce its much-anticipated House of Craft x Dior exhibition to Asia, following a successful debut in New York earlier this year. Running from November 21 to 23 at the New Art Museum Singapore, this immersive experience will explore the artistry, innovation, and legacy behind one of fashion’s most revered houses. Partnering with Dior and fashion icon Carine Roitfeld, UBS is bringing couture craftsmanship into focus, celebrating not just the legacy of Dior but also the meticulous precision that has defined haute couture for over 70 years.

House of Craft x Dior offers an exclusive opportunity to dive into the world of couture through a series of curated experiences. The exhibition, which spans eight decades of Dior’s rich history, traces the work of its legendary designers—Christian Dior himself, followed by Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons, and Maria Grazia Chiuri. In addition, the showcase also includes a nod to Kim Jones, whose innovative approach to menswear has redefined the House recently.

The exhibition will also showcase the photographic project by Brigitte Niedermair, an artist with deep ties to Dior. Niedermair’s lens captures iconic pieces from the Dior archives, breathing new life into the brand’s heritage with her unique visual perspective. Curated in collaboration with Roitfeld, the exhibition highlights the evolution of Dior’s craftsmanship, blending historical masterpieces with fresh artistic interpretations. Together, they bring a nuanced tribute to the artisanship and vision that continue to shape Dior today.

“UBS is delighted to present the Asia debut of UBS House of Craft x Dior in Singapore, a global metropolis rich in culture and history. Singapore’s intersection of heritage and innovation provides a distinctive backdrop for celebrating craftsmanship at the highest level, sparking dialogue and discovery” says Jin Yee Young, Co-Head of UBS Global Wealth Management Asia Pacific and Country Head UBS Singapore. “We are delighted to partner with Dior and Carine Roitfeld to present the expanded exhibition, paying homage to the heritage of Dior and UBS as well as showcasing the precision, dedication, and artistry that define our own craft.”

With Singapore’s cultural landscape as its backdrop, UBS House of Craft x Dior aims to spark dialogue around the intersection of tradition and innovation. In addition to the exhibition, the program will feature intimate discussions, exclusive panels, and live craft demonstrations. More details on the full lineup will be revealed soon.

UBS House of Craft continues to celebrate the art of craftsmanship, with upcoming events in horology and gastronomy planned in both the US and Asia. House of Craft x Dior opens to the public at the New Art Museum Singapore from November 21 to 23, 2025.
