DIALOGUE OF THE ARTS

For the staging of the Dior haute couture spring-summer 2023 show, Maria Grazia Chiuri has woven a new creative dialogue with Mickalene Thomas, an emblematic African-American artist, born in 1971, with whom she had previously collaborated on the Dior cruise 2020 collection, unveiled in Marrakech, Morocco.

ART OF THE DETAIL

Inhabited by absolute elegance, the silhouettes of the Dior spring summer 2023 haute couture line come to life thanks to multiple, virtuoso savoir-faire. More essential than ever, the beauty of artisanal gestures is revealed through majestic pleats, delicate embroidery and entrancing, shimmering fabrics.
