New year, new couture.
The Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2022 Haute Couture show took Paris by storm on January 24th, with the unveiling of a new collection by celebrated creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri.
The illustrious Musée Rodin became a living work of art, as the new 65-piece collection hit the runway, framed by a colorful backdrop depicting works by Indian artists Madhvi and Manu Parekh. The large-scale design was transformed into a 340 square-meter embroidery installation, crafted by 380 students from the ateliers of the Chanakya School in Mumbai—cementing the institution’s third collaboration with the House of Dior.
Falling within the parameters of a neutral grayscale palette, Chiuri’s latest cache of couture revealed a dynamic display of silky silhouettes, dazzling unitards, deconstructed suits, and separates topped with structured capes. The line featured fine fabrics like organza, tulle, and chiffon, with moments of elegant embroidery and embellishment, ranging primarily in tones of ecru, sand, and ivory, as well as shades of black and gray.
