Christian Dior Show Womenswear Paris SS2017

Maria Grazia Chiuri’s debut at Christian Dior had the likes of Kate Moss, Rihanna and Jennifer Lawrence taking their front row seat. And as the first woman to fulfil the role of creative director of the house of Dior Chiuri decided her first chapter should be about femininity. “The message, really, is that there is not one kind of woman,” she stated as her black and white (with a splash of red) Dior story unfolded. Tule and leather; SS2017 will be a mix of tough and delicate, ballerina gowns and leather biker jackets (a trenchcoat, a couple of sweaters, some bodices and quite te remarkable summer boots) Familiair ingredients given a contemporary touch in the shape of emoji’s (bee embroideries anyone?) and written words (dio( r )evolution). Nothing too shockingly different, but just enough baby steps into a new di(o)rection and with that a younger target audience.
