Designer Maria Grazia Chiuri dove into the archives of Dior and found inspiration from the 1961 collection by Marc Bohan, referred to as ‘The Slim Look’.
Held at the Tuileries Gardens, this year’s Ready-To-Wear collection was presented as a giant-sized board game (squid game anyone?!), featuring garments that are elegant yet fun and contemporary. Stylistically it is reminiscent of the sixties pop-art movement with highlights of inescapable color, graphics and bold colour-blocking patterns as well as halter details. The silhouettes were young and fresh with mini skirt suits, mini dresses and matching coats. An urban style is completed by this season’s interpretation of sportswear with silky boxing robes matched with colored bralettes and shorts in fluorescent tones.
This year’s show transported us to a world that marries the classical Dior style and colour palette with an exciting less serious era of frivolity audiences eagerly welcome.
