DIOR | Ready To Wear FW21 SHOW

For the Dior Autumn-Winter 2021-2022 Ready-to-Wear collection, Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri traverses the universe of fairy tales. The collection revisits traditional archetypes, constructing a narrative projected into the future.

As such, the toy soldier’s uniform is revolutionized into a series of blue cashmere coats adorned with touches of red and white. Shimmering lamé and Lurex jacquards lend this stylized silhouette a metallic shine; fabrics made with gold and silver threads appear by touches of magic. Black boldly splashes across a range of pieces from skirts to the Bar jacket. A piercing red hood that might have been worn by Angela Carter’s Little Red Riding Hood is featured.

Evening gowns are fit for royalty, in fantastical layered tulles that cascade into various marvelous colors. Then there are white collars, plastrons in broderie anglaise, and white bobby socks reminiscent of infancy.
