A new fashion pop-up and a separate beauty installation give London visitors two ways into the house’s festive world.
Dior is turning a corner of Knightsbridge into a miniature Parisian holiday. Its fashion pop-up at Harrods runs from November 6 through December 27, 2026, presenting Jonathan Anderson’s first Cruise collection for the house in a setting inspired by its Avenue Montaigne home. A separate Dior beauty pop-up begins November 11, adding another reason to revisit the store this month. Dior Harrods
The fashion stop
Harrods places the fashion installation in its Exhibition Windows and highlights exclusive shoes, accessories and clothing from Cruise 2027. Look for hedgehog and shamrock motifs, which the store connects to Anderson’s Irish roots. Dior’s own announcement describes evening dresses, shearling coats and iridescent men’s suits, alongside leather goods and smaller gifts including charms, card holders, ornaments and candles.

The photographs reveal a deliberately theatrical entrance: two oversized nutcrackers frame a pale storefront, with garlands, stars and warm lights overhead. Inside, the detail is more domestic than monumental. Wallpaper reports that wood mouldings, parquet and moiré upholstery evoke Dior’s Paris headquarters, while the space draws on Sylvain Chomet’s animated short Christian Dior’s Night in Color.

For a fashion-minded visitor, that combination is the attraction. The room offers a close view of how a collection, a film and a retail setting can tell the same story. It also makes a useful stop for someone who wants to see the season’s styling in person before deciding whether any individual piece belongs in their wardrobe.
A separate beauty address
The beauty installation has its own name, location and timetable. Harrods lists the Dior Sweet Atelier of Dreams Pop-Up at the Library Site on the Ground Floor from November 11 to December 7, 2026. Its confectioner’s-workshop theme takes inspiration from gingerbread. These are two distinct installations, so visitors should use the correct name when asking for directions or arranging a visit.

Before you go
Dior says the fashion pop-up includes workshops and personalisation services, and its announcement links to appointment booking. Check the current programme before travelling for a particular activity, since the announcement does not provide a complete workshop timetable. Dior
If you are shopping for a specific item, confirm its size, colour and availability with the store rather than treating an exclusive collection as a guarantee of stock. For a London afternoon built around design, leave time to look at the displays as well as the rails. The appeal is in the details, from a familiar Parisian doorway re-created in London to a festive motif repeated on something small enough to take home.
