The Top 5 Things Everyone Is Talking About From the Dior Show

The Christian Dior show is always a highly anticipated event around the WWW office, and today’s show managed to make us fall even more in love with the storied house. The first look that debuted on the runway—a fencing jacket and knickerbockers—indicated a slight perspective change that carried through the show. While still nodding to the feminine and ladylike heritage of the house, the brand’s new creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, seems to be looking at the “Dior woman” through a wider lens. Sports-inspired pants, sneakers, and even a pair of jeans were shown alongside dreamy dresses to reflect Chiuri’s sentiment that “there is not one kind of woman.”

Intrigued? Scroll down to learn the top five things from PFW’s most beautiful show yet.

1. A New Debut

This is Maria Grazia Chiuri’s debut show for the house. She is the first female creative director of Dior, which helped inform her collection in a powerful way.

2. A Feminist Message

The most instagrammed look from the show? Easily the graphic tee reading “We should all be feminists.” Models marched down the runway to Beyoncé’s “Flawless,” which samples Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s acclaimed feminist TED Talk. Ngozi Adichie also happened to be a guest at the show. Considering these elements together, it was no surprise the show notes revealed that “feminist is a recurring word,” for Chiuri.

3. Heavenly Embroidery

Tarot card–inspired embroidery adorned several of the most stunning gowns. This was a nod to Christian Dior himself, who was quite superstitious and apparently had his cards read before each show. Our prediction? We’ll be seeing these standout pieces starring in several editorials soon.

Ribbons emblazoned with the brand’s name and “J’Adior” were used for straps on many of the tops, waistbands, and heels. The season’s new bags featured the house’s name prominently as well. The return of the status logo is just the type of mid-2000s resurgence we’re loving lately.
