Dior throws the dice of the new world in a pop and radiant show<

The decor. Decidedly, fashion wants to play. In the Tuileries gardens, in Paris, a giant game of goose, reproduced on 1000m3 of volume, serves as a pop decor for the new spring-summer collection of the house on avenue Montaigne. It is inspired by Le Jeu de l'absurde, a work created in 1965 by the Italian Anna Paparatti. By entrusting this figure of the 1960s art scene with the scenography of the Dior spring-summer 2022 ready-to-wear fashion show, Maria Grazia Chiuri is thus faithful to her habit of honoring a feminist designer. And at a time when the enthusiasm for pre-pandemic lifestyles is returning, the artistic director also intends to question the "new world" through the prism of this game of chance which includes 63 boxes and a few traps before reaching the end. of the spiral.

The look. There is a retro look in these young girls in pinafore dresses and flat square-toed ankle boots. Exploration takes us to the early 1960s, a time when miniskirts and bold, vibrant colors were worn in majesty. This period synonymous with great changes in the women's wardrobe is now imprinted on the Dior podium through a punchy wardrobe. The designer declines the pop and juicy colorama (tangerine, grass green, lemon, raspberry...), the wrong kind of boxy cuts, sleek coats, high flat boots (here, worn with little skirts) and babies with several flanges. We find some of these textured pieces in 3D embroideries and in Nylons that reinvent volumes. In short, a complete wardrobe to reinvent the sixties.

The accessory. The flat shoe. The designer applies this formula to all her ready-to-wear silhouettes. As if to signify that in this new game of post-pandemic fashion there is the aesthetic shift from a conquering woman in high heels to a less constrained pace, marked by freedom, experimentation and rebellion.
