Running trainers? Sporty gowns? Björk’s iconic swan dress? Here’s everything you need to know about Dior’s Cruise 2022 show in Athens.
It would have been easy, and expected, of Maria Grazia to go for theand diaphanous drapes that she has established as the tentpoles of her Dior . Usually, they are tributes to the classical statues she grew up surrounded by in Rome — and they, in turn, were inspired by Ancient Greece. In fact, you could say that the Ancient Greekarguably the cradle of sartorial civilisation — is MGC’s favourite leitmotif, a recurring symbol of her belief that fashion can be a source of female empowerment.
Just as many of us have taken to online yoga classes, frantically running around the park, or using wine bottles as barre weights, MGC became a fitness fanatic over lockdown, too. She came to the realisation that freedom is movement, and that movement isn’t exactly in the DNA of Dior’s. Yet Maria Grazia has spent her time at Dior trying to modernise its quintessentially constricted glamour into practical, wearable fashion for modern women.
This being Dior, it’s highly unlikely these clothes will be worn for, you know, actual exercise. But the idea, or even fantasy, of athleticism is what’s important. The show was brimming with chunky white trainers, techy fabrics, cinching drawstrings, après-workout dressing gowns, hoodies and retro gym bags. Even her beloveddress got an athletic upgrade with parachute drawstrings and utilitarian fastenings.
