“In a context that favors the image, rediscovering the value of words can help creation, for the word, in its graphic form, is also a design*.”
For Maria Grazia Chiuri, each collection consists not only of conceiving a series of pieces designed to accommodate the body of the woman who wears them, but it also entails a reflection on societal transformations, or a reaction to current events, as Christian Dior described it in his autobiography.

A sublime symbol of diversity. An ode to the emotion aroused by creativity and the arts in all their forms.

Savoir-Faire
- Find out more
Capturing Maria Grazia Chiuri’s profound desire to go back to the fundamentals of couture, the spring-summer 2021 ready-to-wear collection celebrates the virtuoso art of cutting and assembling. A study in volume combines with an exploration of “chiné”, dialoguing with traditional Indonesian Ikat Endek* fabrics, whose exceptional technique involves dyeing the warp threads before they are woven. This ancestral women’s craft is an emblem of infinite cultural wealth. In transmitting this priceless heritage and its fascinating transformations across eras, exchanges and lifestyles, this collection simultaneously pays homage to the diversity of savoir-faire and the virtuosity of the petites mains that weave it.
*The official names of these fabrics are Wastra/Kain Endek. They are made by hand by weavers in Bali.
