Dior’s garden-inspired collection of 1947 transformed the world of fashion. To explore that we’re joined by Garden Designer, and Writer Elizabeth Tyler (Vogue, New York Times), and Brigitte Richart, Director and Chief Curator at Musée Christian Dior in Granville, France.
From Kim Jones’ work featured in V&A Dundee’s Garden Futures to Musée Dior’s current exhibition Jardins Enchanteurs, we’ll uncover how gardens - beginning with the one at Christian Dior’s childhood home and current location of Musée Dior - have remained central to the fashion house’s identity.
This podcast series is part of the exhibition public programme for Garden Futures: Designing with Nature, which is open from the 17 May 2025 until 26 January 2026.

In this fourth and final episode, we invited V&A Dundee’s Young People’s Collective, also known as the YPC, to take over its direction.
Led by Mike, Evie, Natalia and Leyla, the YPC question the use of an AI generated image as the exhibition’s main identity. They speak with Neil McGuire (graphic designer and co-curator of AFC) about the image, and with author and journalist Emma Grae about the impact of AI on the Scots language.
We also hear two creative writing pieces responding by Timika and Hannah-Linda, created in response to the exhibition. These works are the result of the YPC’s residency programme with students from the University of Dundee.
Content warning: This episode contains strong language and may not be suitable for all listeners.
Credits: produced by Evie, Leyla, Mike & Natalia from YPC
Creative Writing responses from Timika Sukhai and Hannah Linda Hamilton, in residence Feb-March 2025, with thanks to Johanna Lindsay.
