Now, let's take a look at this season's big show from the beginning.

Late at night, there was some unusual movement in Versailles. In that eerie moment, a mass of twitching bodies and a primal, gasping figure seemed to emerge from the face of the earth, and an ominous curtain fell over the palace.

This is the story behind Maria Grazia Chiuri's Dior Fall/Winter 2021 ready-to-wear collection.

As we mentioned earlier, this season Maria Grazia Chiuri is going to tell us a fairy tale about a fantasy-filled dimension without time and space. After reading the background of the story, it is clear that Maria is not telling a traditional fairy tale, but a dark, evil story.

In Maria Grazia Chiuri's story, the fairy tale is not a symbol of escape from reality, but a kind of courage to question challenges and break stereotypes.

That is why, in Dior's Fall/Winter 2021 ready-to-wear collection, we can see Maria Grazia Chiuri's vision for the future, a combination of reality and dream.

The first is the autumn and winter clothing that is very practical. She took a twist on the brand's classic design, transforming toy soldier uniforms into a series of blue cashmere coats with warm red and white accents.

Sparkling Lurex jacquard adds a metallic sheen to the stylish silhouette. A charming fabric of gold and silver threads, as if suspended by magic.

Black has always played an important role in the design of the collection, from the playful and glamorous skirts to the Dior Bar Jacket with its signature rattan pattern.

In this series, we can see a lot of fairy tales: Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty.

The hood design, for example, is reminiscent of Angelia Carter's classic look in Little Red Riding Hood.

As Mr. Dior wrote in "Little Dictionary of Fashion," "I think red coats are beautiful." The collection's red tones complemented the compact outerwear, giving a bold splash of color to hooded capes and raincoats.

Roses and apples - timeless symbols of fairy tales - also appear in the collection's prints.

The charming combination of red classic rose patterns and tartan is reminiscent of Maria Grazia Chiuri's beloved fairy tale Beauty and the Beast. She particularly loved Jean Cocteau's film adaptation, which was inspired by the fairy tales of two female authors, Madame D 'Honaud and Madame Le Plance de Beaumont.

In this story, the dark theme of "vanity and prejudice" inspires a new contemporary interpretation by Maria Grazia Chiuri.

Design details, such as white collars, English embroidery boutonnieres and white vintage socks, are also reminiscent of childhood.

Of course, since it's a fairy tale, it can't just be the actual coats, and the gorgeous princess dresses can't be less. At the end of the story, we can see the beautiful tulle blooming in all kinds of dreamy colors, like a beautiful dress for the princess.

"People don't just want functionality and timeless classics, they want desire as well." "Maria Grazia Chiuri said when asked why she created such a fantastic tulle dress collection.

Why create such a fairy tale series? Maria Grazia Chiuri says she prefers the original fairy tales of the past because "they are scary" and while good fairy tales are appealing, "[scary fairy tales] are a way to educate young people about what is going on in the world." A way to prepare them for the future."
