Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 Haute Couture Show

True to her commitment of celebrating the work of women artists, Maria Grazia Chiuri chose to honor the oeuvre of Faith Ringgold for the scenography of the Dior haute couture autumn-winter 2024-2025 show. A passionate odyssey at the convergence of art and craftsmanship.

Like an enchanting ode to the body in motion, the looks in the Dior haute couture autumn-winter 2024-2025 collection seem to undulate as the models walk the runway. Fringes, drapes and pleats turn into tank tops, dresses and pants, creating evanescent silhouettes inspired by ancient goddesses. The sportswear wardrobe – paying tribute to athletes past and present – is reinvented through a couture lexicon: the rib on T-shirts is replaced by delicate grosgrain ribbon and the jersey adorned with silk or metallic threads in multiple shades of gold. Expressing virtuoso skills and absolute refinement, all-over embroidery adorns pieces such as irresistible sports shirts and bathrobes embellished with mosaic mirrors. A plural image of a free and powerful femininity.

Shaping the silhouettes of the Dior haute couture autumn-winter 2024-2025 défilé, references to antique culture are deployed in accessories. Shoes, for instance, borrow the traditional style of gladiator shoes, enhanced by laces that hug the leg from ankle to knee. Alternately studded with feathers or embroidery to magnify the look, they are sometimes punctuated by baroque beads with sumptuously pearly reflections, which also flourish on cuffs, rings and earrings – echoing the structure of the iconic Dior Tribale. Flat sandals feature a couture jersey ribbon to match the dresses they complement. Instilling an allure imbued with a hint of rebellious spirit, black leather double-belts are worn over monochrome white outfits, emphasizing the waist and producing a subtle interplay of contrasts. A celebration of the art of detail.
