SPRING 2024 COUTURE
Maria Grazia Chuiri struck a perfect-pitch in her Dior haute couture collection.
She describe it, simply, as a conversation between two fabrics that are apparently in contradiction.
A strapless moire evening dress was standing before her.
Chiuri had come across a dove-gray moire dress named Cigalle, in Christian Diors Profile collection of 1953.
It had a geometric, jutting-hip cut that fascinated her as much as the fabric.
She took the cut forward and spun it away from heavy corseting to make it wearable for today.
The thing is, no embellishment is necessary on top of moirethe irregular zig-zagging weave does the talking.
Thats the insight thats making the house of Christian Dior such a success.
