Dior

Dior paid tribute to the athletes from the Paris Olympics in a collection that fused modernity and classicism. Inspired by Amazon figures, the brand took as its reference the iconic “Amazon” dress that Christian Dior designed in 1951. Maria Grazia Chiuri added a performance by Italian artist Sagg Napoli, who along the 150 meter long runway, shot arrows at a target that marked the rhythm of the show. Among the guests were celebrities like Rosalía, Natalie Portman, Jisoo, and French judo champion Clarisse Agbegnenou sitting first row at Musee Rodin. The soundtrack, mostly by women artists, included Charli XCX’s “Guess.” Maria Grazia’s collection stood out due to its neutral colors, asymmetric items and flat shoes, which were an important part of the styling of the clothes. Dior’s collection celebrated the strength of the modern woman, mixing tradition and innovation through every detail. The athletic side of the collection included bathing suits, motorcyclist bomber jackets, and parachute pants with strategic zippers. One of the distinctive elements of the line was the contrast between black and white and exaggerated “Miss Dior” logos. One of my favorite looks was a loose pair of white pants, a matching one-shouldered top and a blazer; to complete the look, the model had a crossbody bag hanging from her back. Some of the looks included fringes in skirts and blouses, creating an optic illusion on the runway. The eveningwear consisted of Greek-inspired tulle dresses with delicate drapes in a sandy color that seemed to float. The models’ glam included having their hair pulled back with headbands and almost no makeup, which gave a fresh sporty look to the girls.
