Fashion is constantly influenced by changes and social facts, yet at the same time it is able to divert our attention from the ugliness of episodes and unpleasant realities by converting everything into beauty.
The Haute Couture collection designed by designer Maria Grazia Chiuri for Autumn Winter 2022 is a blank page in a story that opens with neutral-coloured, unstructured dresses. Following this, Chiuri’s haute couture dresses begin to approach colour, embellished with rich embroidery, floral and tartan patterns.
Maria Grazia Chiuri expresses herself through fashion, which is why all her collections, in some way, represent the moment we are living in.
The crepe de chine, wool, silk and cashmere dresses are inspired by the work of a Ukrainian artist, Olesia Trofymenko. Through her, Dior‘s designer explored and discovered the meaning and cycle of life depicted through the famous tree. Life, death and rebirth, and a constant link to folk and popular traditions.
Posing the important question of what it means to be human in today’s society, Maria Grazia Chiuri celebrates reality through art and unprecedented fashion craftsmanship.
This Dior Haute Couture Autumn Winter 2022 2023 collection stands as a true bridge between past, present and future.
The whole context is encapsulated in a profound romanticism, not entirely taken for granted for the French maison; it goes beyond formality, recounting memory. Here is the true meaning of this collection, the very strong nod to tradition, Maria Grazia Chiuri’s invitation to pause, to take a moment, taking us back to the archives and the uniqueness of the Maison Dior.
