Dior Spring/Summer '22 Paris


 










We always love visiting the Re-see's of the new Dior collection's  especially after a lockdown, and a whole digital fashion season, and when brightfull as the this Spring Summer '22 collection is. The youthquake of the 60's is now seen as a re-awakening in fashion was Maria Grazia Chiuri's biggest inspiration when she began designing the new Dior collection. Drawing inspiration from the house’s 1961 Slim Look collection by Marc Bohan, Grazia Chiuri’s offering the same kind of colourful optimism which the 60's are remembered for. Miniaturized Dior suits serve as an ode to sophisticated style icons of the 60's, such as Jackie O, but with a modern flair.Grazia Chiuri spoke of wanting to give an optimistic outlook to the future. With this in mind, the show was set on a  coloured circular installation with models standing on different numbers, evoking images of a 60's style game show.
A part of the set was at the Re-see as well filled with bar jackets and sleek suits in bright colors inspired by the Dior 1961 Slim Look collection. Some of them were colour-blocked others came in bold colours with graphic black prints of cats and reptiles. The looks were styled with a mini bag of practically every handbag design Dior has (next up), coming in the whole vibrate colour palette of the collection. All set up as "Dior Vibe" which logo came back in the sporty boxing shorts and bralettes. Alongside the colour contrasts were the more classic suits in black and white and warming neutral colours.
We absolutely loved the happy and somehow futuristic vibe the presentation was surrounded by and we  were instantly attracted to the sporty outfits, the boxing shorts styled with the simple bralettes were our definete favourite. Likewise for the A-line dresses, particularly the white one with the long zipper (we could see Twiggy wearing it) because it is such an iconic and classic design making it more edgy by adding the zipper. Another favourite was the sheer white top with white silver sequins, we could imagine it styling with a good jeans.
