Dior SS 2021 Show

The Jardin des Tuileries have turned today into the “cathedral of poetry” for the SS 2021 show by Dior. A perfectly successful attempt to face a new future, an attempt from fashion to respond to the changes of an uncertain time that overturned all the rules of the game without warning. Maria Grazia Chiuri , creative director of the Dior Maison, is reactionary in her DNA, rides the times as few know how to do, and always manages, subjectivity aside, not to disappoint expectations.

Take a closer look at the spectacular show space for the unveiling of the #DiorSS21 collection by @MariaGraziaChiuri today. In an ambiance simultaneously sacred and profane, ‘Vetrata di poesia visiva’, a long-gestating work by Florence-based visual artist Lucia Marcucci, spreads across the walls as 18 backlit acrylic ‘windows’, each 7m high. Recalling the colorful stained glass of gothic cathedrals, each is filled with the artist’s ‘visual poetry’, a signature style fusing found imagery from mass media and advertising with text in the form of aesthetically arresting and contemplative collages. The effect was further enhanced during the show with the stirring performance of ‘Sangu di Rosa’, a choral work by @Lucia.Ronchetti sung by @Sequenza93.

For this season, Maria Grazia Chiuri has once again walked the fil rouge of feminism, letting herself be inspired by the art of collage by Lucia Marcucci . The artist anticipated the show by creating a dialogue with the audience made up of words and images intertwined with each other, weaving a captivating hymn to the power of female thoughts . Directed by the Italian director Alina Marazzi , the short movie entitled “ To Cut Is to Think ” anticipates what will be the new values of a post-pandemic Dior who has chosen to focus everything on long-lasting garments that last over time, to eliminate all that is superfluous by putting something absolutely wearable and of the highest quality on the catwalk.

Lucia Marcucci thus gave life to the rose windows of the cathedral of poetry, called the “visual poetry window” to the notes of Lucia Ronchetti’s choral work Sangu di Rosa . Another hymn to an all-Italian heritage in a French Maison, as was the one at the Cruise 2021 show in Lecce.
Together with unusual and new combinations, the archival items that have written the history of Dior have been on the catwalk. The Bar Jacket is a great protagonist on flared skirts and masculine-cut trousers, this time equipped with laces that make it incredibly versatile and suitable for the most varied style needs. The chemisier is once again celebrated becoming the quintessence of comfort and making a metamorphosis that transforms it from shirt to tunic to dress. The outerwear are oversized with a kimono shape and jacquard fabric for the evening versions, in cloth and wool for everyday looks.

All looks celebrate the freedom to look and be exactly the woman you want, more chastened if necessary or attractive and almost deified when you want. Alongside chemisier and outerwear, coordinated sets of high-waisted shorts and crop tops with sweetheart neckline but also iconic long dress in silk muslin. The color palette is all about neutrals and desert tones; makes brick, khaki green, and teal the essential nuances of all garments. Alongside new paisley designs, the embroideries and the laces, handcrafted and made to perfection, are the true hallmark of a collection that in a few hours has already begun to dictate the stylistic codes trend of the next SS 2021
