This was the question that’s creative director, the Italian designer Maria Grazia Chiuri, found herself asking in these times of pandemic, war and the threat of a global recession.
And so, the centrepiece of Dior’s couture show on Monday was not the exquisite silk chiffon plissé dresses or the intricately embroidered cream wool coats, but instead the backdrop – the floor-to-ceiling artworks that lined the Musée Rodin in Paris, a series of joyful, innocent interpretations of the tree of life, laden with flowers, fruits and birds.
Creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri takes a bow after the Dior autumn/winter 2022/23 haute couture collection.“I like the symbolism of the tree of life a lot,” she said backstage before the show, wearing her famous “We should all be feminists” T-shirt with a black trouser suit. “It means this idea of the circle of life.”
