FOR SPRING SUMMER 2024, SHE PRESENTS POSSIBLY HER MOST DEFIANT COLLECTION YET: ONE INSPIRED BY "ALL THE REBELS WHO HAVE ASSERTED THEIR INDEPENDENCE IN THE FACE OF A MASCULINE WORLD AND CHALLENGED ITS SYSTEM", INCLUDING GET THIS THE MYTHOLOGICAL FIGURE OF THE WITCH. IN COLLABORATION WITH THE LUXURY MAISON, FEMALE OFFERS A CLOSER LOOK AT ITS DARK AND COOLLY SOPHISTICATED BRAND OF FEMININITY THIS SEASON.
In the eyes of Maria Grazia Chiuri, witches are "custodians of the knowledge of the mother goddess who pass on the science of plants and respect the time of nature". Don't expect some ethereal boho chic from Dior's Spring Summer 2024 collection though. Chiuri's vision of a modern-day enchantress draws from the past, present and future, and resolutely means business. There's plenty of elegant tailoring with a masculine edge, for example think gently oversized jackets and crisp white shirts of which architectural silhouettes are in fact inspired by mediaeval style. Even the maison's signature Lady Dior handbag got a punk-meets-pretty makeover in patent leather and all-over mini pearl studs. Meanwhile, the overall colour palette can be said to be nothing short of spellbinding, derived from "ash, camomile and love potions".
Aren't you already charmed? (This page) Cotton poplin blouse, cotton gabardine pants and Lady Dior medium patent leather bag with pearl studs. (Opposite page, from left) Leather trench coat; technical fabric sweater; silk mesh bra and matching briefs; cotton mesh skirt; acetate sunglasses; and Tribales metal and resin earring with pearls, and matching ring. Wool coat, cotton poplin blouse, cotton guipure skirt, silk mesh panties, Tribales metal and resin earring with pearl, and Toile de Jouy Soleil metal and lacquer choker. All Dior
