For the Chrisitan Dior Fall 2022 RTW collection, the mesmerizing silhouettes are set against the backdrop of The Next Era, a gallery of paintings signed Mariella Bettineschi and composed of large female portraits borrowed from the history of painting from the 16th to the 19th century. Their eyes, cut and duplicated, question the judgment that has conditioned – and still conditions – women.

The iconic Bar jacket is reinvented and dressed with technically innovative inserts created by the Italian start-up D-Air lab. From clothing to accessories, the creations combine aesthetics and technology, revisiting the Dior heritage. A fascinating exploration between past, present and future.

Hear what a selection of special Autumn-Winter 2022-2023 show guests – from Dior fashion and beauty global ambassador Yara Shahidi to Ashley Park, Chiara Ferragni, Karin Viard and more – had to say about their discovery of the new collection by Maria Grazia Chiuri as well as the scenographic artworks by Mariella Bettineschi.
