For the Christian Dior Fall 2024 Haute Couture colleciton, the arrival of the Olympic Games in Paris incited Maria Grazia Chiuri to pay a fitting tribute to all athletes whom, from antiquity to the present day, have overcome prejudice and obstacles to ensure a level playing field in sports contests.

Exploring the ties between performance and clothing, the Creative Director questions the very essence of the latter, its construction and its singular relationship to the body in movement.

Draping, an astonishing visual reference to classical statuary, is prevalent on the catwalk notably in silk dresses magnified by embroidery, transparent metallic tank tops edged in satin, and ensembles where the skirt reveals a pair of pants at each step. The silhouettes reflect the power – both experimental and reflexive – of couture, its virtuosity in rethinking the allure, the elegance of a woman at once delicate and strong.

With a show guest list including Dior global ambassador JISOO, Dior ambassadors Rosamund Pike, Miki Nakatani, Pretty Yende and Laetitia Casta, House friends Jennifer Lopez, Doja Cat, Kelly Rutherford and more, learn what a selection of our invitees had to say about discovering the Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 Haute Couture collection by Maria Grazia Chiuri.
