With the Christian Dior Fall 2023 Haute Couture collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri pursues her ideal of haute couture with sartorial elements that can be described as archetypal, such as the tunic, the peplum, the cape and the stole.

The colors selected are white, beige, silver and pale gold. Jackets and coats are structured by the folds beneath the chest, evoking classical statues and the fluting of columns. Pearls, symbols of purity, are featured in numerous embroideries. Intertwined with silver threads they glimmer iridescently. The shimmering textures of the sixties enjoy a revival, embellishing long skirts and dresses. Wool and cashmere occupy a key place; a cape evocative of a holy garment, sometimes embroidered, enhances a variety of outfits. Pleating plays a leading role, notably present on the sleeves of men’s jackets.

By perpetuating the cult of the goddess and reinterpreting the founding emblems of antiquity, the défilé becomes a contemporary ritual, illustrating the strength and fragility of femininity, which supports and sustains the community we form.  Recalling the past, it guides us towards a vision of the future endowed with sensitivity and essential attention to detail.
