You can always trust Dior's fairy dress


The offline show that everyone has been waiting for is finally back.

In the past three seasons of the high-order collection, Dior chose the form of fashion film. So when it finally came back to the show this season, women's creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri presented an original show.

The show was created by Maria Grazia Chiuri in collaboration with the French artist Eva Jospin, who created a 40-meter-long immersive embroidery scroll for the show, It was called Chambre de Soie (Room of Silk).

The work was inspired by the Indian-inspired "Salle aux Broderies" (Room of Embroidery) in Colonna Palace in Rome and Virginia Woolf's feminist book "A Room of One's Own."

In 2016, Eva visited the "Embroidery Hall", where the wall drapes with Indian tropical style fell from the ceiling to the ground and were covered with monkeys, birds, trees, etc., which were hand-embroidered with gold and silk threads. They were vivid and interesting.

Inspired by this, Eva designed a room for Dior with walls covered in embroidery, presenting her landscape works in a 19th-century panorama.

The trees, vines and ingenious architecture of the embroidered paintings make for a wonderful world, like a rosy Baroque garden.

The 350-square-meter piece was hand-crafted over several months by 320 craftsmen at Chanakya Workshop and Chanakya Craft School in Mumbai.

This unique installation is Maria Grazia Chiuri's signal to everyone to "be in the show" - we can finally focus on the real touch again.

Exploring the real in the virtual age also means focusing on the meaning of embroidery: embroidery is not only a decorative element, but also a visual and tactile form of expression.

In this season's show, the embroidery on the wall and the runway design have reached a reciprocal effect.

Maria uses the tactile fabric as the carrier, transforming the imaginative embroidery language into a unique form of expression.

The first to walk into the show is a variety of plaid, tweed, texture and different dimensions of black and white color pieces, the weight of autumn and winter and Dior haute couture engraved into the brand gene of the elegance of the face.

When it comes to Dior elegance, you have to mention the Bar Jacket. The timeless cut makes this piece last longer.

Echoing Eva Jospin's Chambre de Soie (Room of Silk), the show featured a series of tropical prints with an Indian feel, with flowers and plants bursting into vivid skirts.

When the epidemic gradually improves, what kind of fashion will our gradually recovering world need?

Maria's answer is probably something more everyday. "Extremely everyday wear" is the most direct feeling presented by this season's Dior haute couture series. But does that mean the loss of haute couture's DNA?

The details reflected in the Dior haute couture workshop artisans' intentions gave a negative answer.
