This isis Dior’s mostmost excitingexciting comebackcomeback yearyear

Christian Dior never piqued my interest after John Galliano, as those were the peak days of high fashion design and models. Post-2010, Dolce & Gabbana and Versace were the ‘it’ shows of the season. The rise of House Dior in 2016, with the re-imagination of the saddlebag, recently caught my eye. It was all because of Maria Grazia Chiuri, who joined Dior in 2016. Her fresh perspective and outspoken activism saved the brand from its sunken place. This is my breakdown of the Dior fall-winter 2020 collection.

The quantity of looks in the show suggests that she is more than capable of keeping up with the demands of our fast-paced society. The attention to detail on her dresses, jackets, and bags also indicates that she perfectly balances quality and quantity. She doesn’t sacrifice her talent because she wants to put a lot of material into her show.

Before the first model walked out, you could see a feminist’s dream fighting arena. Consent thrown in your face? Oh, my goodness. I love to see it. We love to see it. The Dior show had other messages draped from the ceiling, one of my favourites being ‘When women strike [sic] the world stops.’

The first look was very business-appropriate. Modern-day women will show you how to wear a pantsuit, sometimes better than men. Women are now becoming CEOs, members of important committees and world leaders. It was nice to see the subliminal feminist messages embedded in the show.

Dior Fall 2020 Collection

This collection felt modern. Fashion is subjective and creative. The inclusion of feminism here feels inclusive and forward-marching. It was progressive instead of regressive.

This means this season is all about allowing women to take charge. Modernism is characterised by its emphasis on technology and the pursuit of efficiency. At a fashion show, the creative director’s goal is to showcase what’s to come for the upcoming season. Miss Chiuri said, ‘I’m here to show you, girls, what you’ve been missing. I will let you know that I believe women rock simultaneously, and that is that, on that. If you don’t like it, please see security to let you out.’

The show didn’t feature any prominent fashion names at the moment. You know what? Good Maria Chiuri. Let Maria’s raw talent shine through. It is paying off because Dior has made a comeback since she arrived at the fashion house. Dior is making noise on a streetwear level, and that is an indicator of success to me. If your designs can travel past Hollywood and other fishbowl-style industries, you’ve created something of purpose.

I am very proud of her and everything she has accomplished in fashion so far, and I look forward to seeing what’s next.

The Dior collection was a gorgeous show with a lovely embedded message. It demonstrates her unwavering support for women. Lastly, it was a well-put-together collection that forced the viewer to focus on her creation of the moment.
