admin Maria Grazia Chiuri is trucking along with her feminist messaging; in fact, at her Spring 2024 Dior ready-to-wear show Tuesday, it was perhaps more in-your-face than ever — not necessarily via the clothes, but on brightly colored, floor-to-ceiling LED screens surrounding the runway.
The show space — the house’s usual tent in the Tuileries Garden — had been transformed into an immersive video installation titled “Not Her,” by the artist Elena Bellantoni. Throughout the runway show, guests were presented with pop art-like images inspired by sexist vintage advertisements, alongside copy seemingly written from a feminist point of view — phrases like “No-body is yours / No-body is perfect / Every-body is performative,” and “Your body is poetic / Your body is political,” and “Woman is an active subject of the historical process and cannot be confined to being the object of desire of patriarchy.”
Constantly changing and rendered in bold fuchsia and yellow, this imagery no doubt took attention away from the actual collection coming down the runway. Chiuri stuck to a mostly black, white and beige palette for her Spring 2024 designs, which began as an exploration of “the relationship between femininity and feminism, driven by the conviction that fashion has, more than ever, a responsibility to help women realize their worth and express their differences,” per the show notes.
Specifically, Chiuri was inspired by rebellious, independent women, including witches, which can be seen in many medieval-style silhouettes and apron dresses. There’s also a blending of the masculine and the feminine throughout the collection, which is filled with suiting, button-down shirts (sometimes subverted with an off-the-shoulder neckline), menswear-leaning outerwear and lots of heavily treated denim. Elsewhere in the collection, there’s a focus on destruction (not unlike what we saw trending on the Milan runways) via lace-y, ruffly garments that appear shredded or torn.
There are very few prints, save for a dark floral and a subtly mystical design depicting “phases of the moon, suns announcing the seasons, medicinal herbs and fantastical animals,” according to the brand. Perfect for the Dior shopper going through her goth phase.
