Maria Grazia Chiuri Instagram – ‘La Cigale’, a dress by Monsieur Dior from 1952, was an important influence in @MariaGraziaChiuri’s development of #DiorCouture Spring-Summer 2024. Its imposing architecture is seen reprised here in red moiré faille with more contemporary lines, a slimmed effect echoed by a tulle gown that recreates the twinkling embroideries of 1951’s ‘Mexique’ without the multilayered structure beneath. Among the other modern updates with heritage provence that came down the runway were polka dots and a caramel shantung #DiorBarJacket.
