Maria Grazia Chiuri, Dior Creative Director, celebrates fashion as an ever more important means of self-expression and expression of all aspects of femininity. For the Spring-Summer 2024 Collection, she designed a strong and fascinating wardrobe that dares to bring opposites together and combines elegance and simplicity in a plural singularity. Chiuri’s signature silhouettes emerge through choreographic paintings shot by the famous American photographer Tina Barney.
At the intersection of past and present, between intimacy and irresistible subversion, models pose in the heart of different spaces – many ‘rooms of one’s’ – in a timeless environment shrouded in mystery. From shadow to light, all looks express this liberation: fabric, ‘the only tool for dreams’ in the words of Monsieur Dior, shines with magic by combining imagination and reinvention(s). Jackets and skirts fray gracefully, while unsteady architectural cuts poetically outline and shape the body in motion. The ‘Abandon’ dress, which reveals shoulder curves and designed by Christian Dior for the 1948 Autumn-Winter Haute Couture collection, is metamorphosed with asymmetrical collared shirts.
Accompanying this rebellious elegance, the Dior Toujours bag is reinterpreted with a new, wrinkled leather version with the iconic ‘macrocannage’ motif. Diorebel lace-up boots are worn with embroidered clothes crafted with virtuoso precision. Adiorable shoes are decorated with white resin beads and straps that wrap around the ankle and lower leg up to the knee.
This fascinating inner adventure is a tribute to pluralistic beauty and feminine elegance that can never be limited to a single narrative.
