Haute Couture

For Autumn-Winter 2020-2021 Haute Couture, discoverable on.dior.com/couture-aw2021, Maria Grazia Chiuri called on director Matteo Garrone to create a film that would capture the magic and wonder of the Dior dream. She discusses the creative common ground that exists between the worlds of cinema and couture, and speaks about the inspirations behind the ingeniously presented collection, from female Surrealists to the enchantment of the historical Théâtre de la Mode touring exhibition.  July 6, 2020

Autumn-Winter 2020-2021 Haute Couture

Produced as both 55cm-tall miniatures and in regular size, with the intense attention to detail the same for both, the realization of each look posed specific and sometimes significant challenges.”

CHRISTIAN DIOR |Savoir-faire of tombolo lace

Requiring immense feats of manual dexterity and patience, the slow and meticulous craft of lace making native to Puglia is known as ‘tombolo’. Still recovering from the shock of receiving a phone call to collaborate on the Cruise 2021 collection by Maria Grazia Chiuri, Marilena Sparasci is a virtuoso when it comes to making its delicate motifs. © Film by Edoardo Winspeare

CHRISTIAN DIOR |Eco-printing Savoir-Faire

at the Dior Spring-Summer 2020 show

“Fortunately, there are the flowers,” Monsieur Dior once said. In the Dior Spring-Summer 2020 collection, nature once again played a starring role, this time considered in light of contemporary challenges. The House’s Creative Director revisited the founding couturier’s cherished inspirations as an “inclusive garden”, an ode to co-existence and diversity featuring a wealth of plant species. This celebration of diversity also flourished in the looks, some of which were dyed using a special technique. Discover the unique savoir-faire of eco-printing, in which living plants are pressed and heated to confer their patterns onto fabrics.
