Finally, a woman designing for women! At Dior, Maria Grazia Chiuri is announcing: “I force myself to be attentive to the world and to create fashion that looks like the women of today, a fashion that will accompany them in their transformations to escape stereotypical categories of ‘masculine and feminine’, ‘young and not so young’, ‘logic and emotion’.” That’s why Chiuri’s version of the Dior woman operates in a charm-and-dagger romance that perhaps borrows a bit from Monsieur Dior’s fascination for the arts and artists alike.
Yes, Christian Dior was first and foremost an art lover. It’s difficult to list all the references to Christian Dior’s legacy, as numerous as they are – but this tulle dress seems to capture them all. From the bee that the couturier loved so to the immaculate white of his untiring blouse, Zodiac signs and Tarot cards to remind how superstitious the brand’s founder was… The new creative director has proved that she knows this man whose steps she follows in, without ever forgetting all the poetry and grace of her own signature.
This piece oscillates between strength and fragility, calm and agility – long and fairy-like, embroidered with surrealist motifs, the dress establishes a new and highly desirable silhouette. This is without a doubt one of Maria Grazia Chiuri’s pieces for Dior that history will remember. A mixture of delicateness and a dreamer’s soul push for a look that’s modern, refined, and casual all at the same time!
