The Miss Dior Pop-Up, an exclusive ‘The Couture Twirl’ activation, was introduced at Singapore Changi Airport through a collaboration between Parfums Christian Dior, The Shilla Duty Free, and Changi Airport Group. Running from 16 January to 11 March in Terminal 3, the pop-up celebrates Miss Dior’s heritage and offers travellers a multi-sensory beauty experience.
Designed as an illuminating tribute to the fragrance, the activation featured a Miss Dior bow and intricate couture-inspired embroidery. Visitors explored interactive elements, including "a Photo Moment station, a Light Up Experience, and a beauty discovery zone while a grand ribbon display was activated when a Miss Dior bottle was placed on its pedestal."
Guests also enjoyed a couture fabric consultation, receiving fragrance recommendations inspired by luxurious textiles. Additionally, a 'Beauty Fitting' area provided skincare and makeup services, enhancing the event’s personalization. The experience was further highlighted by the debut of the thematic Miss Dior Café in Asia Pacific travel retail.
