Dior Spring-Summer 2022 Haute Couture Collection

Maria Grazia Chiuri reasserting the syntax and grammar of the atelier. The purity of lines fundamentally celebrating the very role, the essence of couture: to dress the body

The embroidery, which stands out from (and interacts with) the material, rendering it evanescent and prompting an interplay with the surrounding air, as seen in the contrasting of a long, all-over embroidered ecru skirt with a sheer silk organza shirt.

The tights, a signature of the collection, also derive their spectacular dimension from embroidery to establish a lively dialogue with different pieces, from a grisaille-bedecked grey suit to evening dresses that marry the finesse of embroidery with the lightness of tulle, through a series of draped leotards.
