Dior show took place in the middle of a scenographic video installation by the artist Elena Bellantoni where slogans were projected as the atmosphere of a catwalk in bright pink and yellow colors. For this season, Maria Grazia Chiuri, creative director of Dior, presented a collection with femininity as a primary source of inspiration.
In this context of saturated colors, Dior’s garments contrasted with neutral colors. Opening looks saw lace fabrics tied together forming elegant sheer dresses, while blazers flaunted the female form with cinched waists.
Tulle offered a feminine finish to later dresses, while several long black coats, layered over collared white shirts. Many blouses left one shoulder exposed, while skirts fell below the knee.
Maria Grazia Chiuri captured subtle, clean-cut patterns on blazers, coats and skirts, all of which found balance with monochromatic underlayers. Utilitarianism and the search for functionality was applied in nylon vests and jackets with multiple pockets and dual-function closures, while minimalism was fundamental in a series of single-tone dresses and coats.
Gray denim was part of a jacket and shirt combo and the fabric reappeared on a pair of knee-length shorts. Intricate lace resurfaced in beige, offering a clean finish on blouses, dresses and floor-length skirts paired with asymmetrical blouses.
The final round of opulent sheer dresses featured detailed ornamentation around the neck. Details that highlighted femininity as the central axis of Maria Grazia Chiuri’s aesthetic vision for women’s fashion created by the house of Dior.
