Loose, louche and glam: Dior swings back to the Sixties
Evening Standard
|February 28, 2024
The style set has moved to Paris for the final round of fashion month shows. Dior opened proceedings with a show in the Tuileries, where guests included Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Portman and Maisie Williams.
At a time when the brand's origin is being interrogated in the Apple TV+ series The New Look, in which Williams stars, it is fitting that Maria Grazia Chiuri is looking back into the archives. This time, she has centred on the 1967 Miss Dior line, which was its first foray into ready-to-wear, led by Philippe Guibourgé, assistant to then-artistic director Marc Bohan.
On Chiuri's mood board was a picture of Bohan with his young daughter, as well as Gabriella Crespi, the Italian interior designer with whom Bohan collaborated with for the new Miss Dior stores. Chiuri explained that Crespi was typical of the new generation of forward-thinking women Bohan surrounded himself with.
