Maria Grazia Chiuri showed a collection of soft jackets and relaxed shapes. CathyHoryn reviews the latest Dior collection
Photo: Courtesy of Dior Covering the Paris collections by phone and Zoom is certainly a testament to technology’s reach, but it tends to reduce the proceedings to miniature. Or, I sometimes feel I’ve spent the morning underwater, in a submarine, and my computer’s camera is my periscope seeking out a designer in a corner of a sprawling fashion house. Oh, it’s you, Maria Grazia! Howdy!
Photo: Courtesy of Dior On top of everything, Chiuri told me, “Fashion Week is empty.” There was no front-of-the-house commotion — a feature of Dior shows — and certainly no backstage crush. “It was so calm. I’ve never in my life eaten before a show. Yesterday, I ate lunch.” “I tried to make the silhouette Dior but in a way that is more soft,” she told me. “To make a collection that’s too traditional and couture is not relevant to our style of life.” She also thinks that the relaxed shapes — the simple linen dresses, the abundance of knitwear in earth and denim hues, the extra-long white cotton shirts — make sense if travel continues to be a hassle.
