THE CRAFT

Female Singapore

March 2024

IN ALL HER YEARS AS THE CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF DIOR, MARIA GRAZIA CHIURI HAS USED HER INFLUENCE AND DESIGNS TO ADVOCATE FOR THE SUPPORT AND REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN.

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".

STORY OF THE DECADE

The French house of Dior was thinking long-term before the rest of fashion even caught up. Cue its Dior Lady Art series: an annual project that represents the bag it gets its name from, the Lady Dior, through the eyes of acclaimed artists from around the world. This year marks its 10th edition — proof that the endurance of an icon doesn't lie in hype drops, but in cultural exchange and creative freedom. Keng Yang Shuen takes a closer look at this milestone collection.

WARNING: CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT

Besides bringing in some of the best movies from around the globe (nearly every one is “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes), homegrown independent film distributor Anticipate Pictures is known for its hyper-stylish, often-cheeky scroll-stopping artworks promoting said flicks — after all, the company was founded in 2016, when Instagram was starting to seriously blow up.

CINEMA PARADISO

The house of Chanel has been a committed champion of the film world since founder Gabrielle Chanel started dressing the actresses from the United Artists studio at the request of American producer Samuel Goldwyn in the 1930s. Besides styling stars on screen and off, the brand has been an active supporter of international movie festivals, institutions and directors (local auteur Eric Khoo was one of them); has helped to restore classics such as the enigmatic Last Year at Marienbad (1961); and often draws inspiration from cinema. For Cruise 2025/26, it pays homage to the glamour of the silver screen as well as Coco Chanel's decades-spanning friendship with legendary Italian filmmaker Luchino Visconti. Here's an exclusive closeup look at the collection and the many ways it's coded la dolce vita.
