Grey Dior And Bar Jacket: Maria Grazia Chiuri celebrates Korea

to reinvent the house’s key codes through a feminine vision in tune with the contemporary world. Maria Grazia Chuiri drew from the biography written by Justine Picardie Miss Dior: A Story of Courage and Couture. The story of the network of women, the true creative force of the universe of Monsieur, who knew how to blow and accompany the vision of this one towards the summits that we know today.

Among them women, her sister, Catherine Dior, but also Mizza Bricard and Marguerite Carr … While the first inspired Dior’s legendary Miss Dior fragrance, the legacy of the flamboyant Mizza Bricard is embodied in a print that magnifies the pieces signed by Avenue Montaigne.

Precisely. Presented for the first time in Seoul, the Dior Pre-fall 2022 collection introduced new versions of iconic Dior couture pieces and lines.

We can encounter long pleated skirts, black and white kilts; fantastic zodiacs -direct references to the superstitious Christian Dior- but also jackets which could com the men’s wardrobe, thus reshaping the mythical Bar jacket…In this desire to integrate technical advances in Dior sewing, Maria Grazia Chiuri worked on 3D embroidery to reveal the relevance of Dior’s timeless vision.

In the 50’S, another great code of the house appeared: it is the grey Dior, orgray Montaigne, which reveals new aspects t: In technical fabrics bathed in a reflective gray Dior!

A series of evening dresses, specially designed for this fashion show held in Seoul, echoes the volumes of the iconic figures of the founder designer. Like the Junon model — the house’s legendary couture dress, imagined in 1949 as an echo too the peacock’s magnificence. Here she is reinvented, in an irresistibly bold way!

An audacity inspired by Asian schoolchildren, as stated in the note of intent: “Maria Grazia Chiuri is interested in these school outfits and especially in the way students dust off the codes of these clothes to personalize them with singular elements with punk accents; a quest for freedom in the urban landscape.”
