At a time when the House of Dior is inaugurating a new creative era with the arrival of Jonathan Anderson as artistic director of its Men's collections, it has chosen to delve back into its DNA through an unexpected object: an audio book.

Entitled "Christian Dior et Moi" (Christian Dior and Me ) and read by Louis Garrel, this elegant manifesto celebrates the history of the founding couturier, while at the same time being part of a broader movement: that of the cultural valorization of luxury brands.

An audiobook to reactivate brand memory

Dior doesn't do things by halves. This audio autobiography, written by Christian Dior shortly before his death in 1957, is much more than a tribute. It's a strategic narrative of the Dior identity, told in an embodied, sensitive, cinematic voice.

The voice of Louis Garrel, an actor associated with a certain French classicism, infuses this reading with an aura of heritage.
The "charming and modest" style of the text reveals the tensions between artisan tradition, couture dreams and entrepreneurial ambition.

Culture as a lever for elevation in the luxury sector

It's no coincidence that Dior has chosen to talk about literature at a time when fashion is looking for meaning. The luxury goods industry is reinventing itself as a cultural brand, calling on stories, archives and seminal texts to enrich the customer experience.

Dior is part of a larger trend:

Chanel and its writing prize;
Louis Vuitton and its ephemeral bookshop at the Grand Palais ;
Miu Miu and its "Summer Reads" campaign...

All these projects testify to a shared ambition: to offer the public a luxury to read as much as to wear, a brand to explore far beyond the product itself.

An editorial strategy for design

Even before the audio launch, Jonathan Anderson had let his intentions slip: a few days before his first Dior show, the House unveiled shots of Dior Book Tote redesigned... like book covers. An aesthetic conceived as a bridge between couture and library, style and storytelling.

This visual narrative reinforces the coherence of Dior's storytelling: a House founded by a man who wrote as well as he drew, now revisited by a designer known for his intellectual and graphic sensibility.

At Artcare, we believe in AI as an extension of this culture.

This return to storytelling in the luxury sector has a particular resonance with us. Because at Artcare, we don't design AI virtual mannequins virtual mannequins as mere image tools. We see them as storytelling tools.

Our AI mannequins are not standardized - they adapt to the visual, cultural and emotional universe of brands.
They embody a vision, an era, a target audience.
Combined with connected objects (AI glasses, voice assistants, immersive experiences), they participate in a new narrative and contextual luxury.

In this logic, an audiobook is not a marketing "bonus", but a building block in brand storytelling, just as an AI model can become a character in its own right in a visual strategy.

Conclusion: luxury can be told, listened to... and reinvented with AI

With Christian Dior et Moi, the House of Dior shows thatthere is no future without memory. And that innovation is not always technological: it can be editorial, sensitive and emotional.

In a sector where artificial intelligence is transforming production and distribution methods, the future of luxury lies in augmented culture, where technology and history feed off each other.

At Artcare, we support brands in this new era, where every image becomes a story, and every AI model an ambassador of meaning.
