The house’s Autumn/Winter 2022 haute couture collection sees a translation of Dior’s codes for a new epoch and a new ethos
If Monsieur Dior sought to escape to fantasy, however, Chiuri wants to ground her work in reality. Every piece seems real, wearable, couched in the actuality of life today. Which means often that the elements ofseem extreme – his vast petticoated skirts, his corset-pinched handspan waists – are translated for a new epoch and a new ethos.
Craft comes in many forms – it’s easy to get wrapped up in embroideries, but Chiuri also explored ideas like hand-looming, creating fabrics without hems, woven to the garment itself, or patchworks – manners of integrating decoration into the construction, so the two are inextricable. And just as a tree has roots, it’s possible to follow these all the way back to the source of the house of Dior, embedded in a glorification of craft and of fashion in a moment of profound difficulty and strife.
