CHRISTIAN DIOR SPRING 2025 HAUTE COUTURE COLLECTION

CHRISTIAN DIOR SPRING 2025 HAUTE COUTURE COLLECTION

For the Spring Haute Couture collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri explores the idea of transformation inherent in creation.

February 4, 2025

Reawakening the essential themes pertaining to sartorial memory, the Christian Dior Spring 2025 Haute Couture show thought up by Maria Grazia Chiuri disrupts the order of time taking us back to a dimension that belongs neither to past nor future.

Inspired by the Trapèze line – the young Yves Saint Laurent’s very first collection for Dior, presented on January 30, 1958 – the pieces evoke dresses beneath which the body disappears. The défilé reveals a series of encounters and unpredictable metamorphoses in wonderland, where the here and now continually play hide-and-seek.

The crinoline proves to be an extraordinary breeding ground for memories, yielding to the most excessive fantasies and motifs. This shaken cage concealing its construction discloses threads that stretch and undulate with every motion, enhancing light blouses sublimated by floral embroidery. The Cigale silhouette – designed by Monsieur Dior for the autumn-winter 1952-1953 haute couture collection – is reproposed in the original moiré fabrics accentuating the contrasting proportions. A fascinating odyssey in which the essence of fashion is to fulfill every desire.

Maria Grazia Chiuri commissioned Rithika Merchant to conceive an immersive artwork composed of nine paintings. Translated into large-scale textile panels by Karishma Swali, the Chanakya ateliers and the Chanakya School of Craft, these works form an immersive visual landscape convening stories of womanhood across generations.

Special guests including Dior global ambassador JISOO, Dior ambassadors such as Jenna Ortega, Anya Taylor-Joy, Alexandra Daddario, Laetitia Casta and Miki Nakatani, along with House friends like Venus Williams, Pamela Anderson and Nicola Coughlan, share their thoughts on Maria Grazia Chiuri’s latest collection.
