Humbled and happy to have dressed the incredible @ladygaga in a @dior Haute Couture custom look for the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games in a revisitation of Zizi Jeanmaire’s iconic Mon Truc En Plumes. A big thank you to @ladygaga for choosing to share this moment with us and to the @dior team for working with so much passion to make this happen.
Proud to have created a custom Haute Couture @dior gown for the mezzo-soprano @saintcirelaxelle who sang the French national anthem, the Marseillaise, for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games held in Paris last night. We revisited the French flag to create a peplum flag dress in one single piece. The choir also wore some special peplums echoing the colours of the french flag as well as holding flags with @faithringgold motto Woman/Freedom.

Thank you friends and team for sharing this adventure with me and thank you to @brigittelacombe for this beautiful picture!
“The first foulards that I can remember, as items of fashion, i.e. that followed a trend, were the ones I saw my mother wearing in the 1970s to complete her look. […] Her free and nonconformist spirit during those years served as a model; the way she wore that foulard was revolutionary for me, a symbol of women’s liberation”.
I have grown up seeing the women in my family wearing foulards for all sorts of occasions, and I myself wear foulards on a daily basis. Our recently released book “Dior Scarves. Fashion Stories”, celebrates the Maison’s long history with scarves. Some elements of our upcoming Fall/Winter2025 show celebrate the iconic prints featured in the book.

“A boutique called Miss Dior – after the perfume – will open next September on rue François Premier, next to the couture house. […] ‘The young don’t want fittings – they want to rush in and grab what they like, pay and rush out’, said Guiborge”. In this way, the New York Times chronicled this new type of fashion, aimed at a younger “Miss Dior”, leading to the use, for the first time, of ephemeral objects, such as shopping bags and signs.
So excited to share the latest @dior campaign by @sarahjones_studio I am so happy we got to create these beautiful images together for the @dior Autumn Winter 2024 collection.

Delving into the visual representations of women in sports, the @Dior Haute Couture Fall-Winter 2024-2025 collection explores the way in which the relationship between the female body and clothing has evolved throughout history to cater to physical activity. The garments bring together different key moments in fashion history, echoing the iconic and timeless draping of peplum dresses, while nodding to more contemporary geometrical cuts of the 1920s which had been reinterpreted in the 1970’s. Similarly, the gold and antique silver textures in fabrics, embroideries, and feathers create a bridge between these different eras.
The beautiful works by Faith Ringgold, installed in the garden of the Musée Rodin for @dior Haute Couture Fall-Winter 2024-2025, are a celebration of the powerful ties uniting art, fashion and sport. These works are presented as 32 life-size mosaics ornately recreated and reinvented as embroideries by the Chanakya ateliers and the Chanakya School of Craft. I am so proud of this collaboration, a tribute to the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024.
Is it possible to challenge sexist stereotypes about women architects and designers?
Women’s relationship with architecture and design goes far beyond the categorization of “women architects.’’ The new wave of Feminism is working to reexamine contemporary cultural systems. This results in a radical transformation of patriarchal values present in Design and Architecture as well.
This season,I have been inspired by these two publications that stand as pioneering visual manifestos of over 200 incredible works designed by women worldwide. Both texts celebrate the work of historically undervalued by restoring their voices.

For the @dior Autumn Winter 2025 collection presented tomorrow in Paris, I have been inspired by Gabriella Crespi and her work.
Born in 1922, Gabriella Crespi studied architecture at the Politecnico in Milan and became a unique figure in the international architecture and interior design scene.
She stood out for her distinctive style, in which she combined her artistic vision with her knowledge of craftsmanship, creating items characterised by a completely new aesthetic.
I have always been in awe of her creative vision as well as her personal style, I am very happy and excited to celebrate Gabriella and her legacy.
A special thank you goes to Elisabetta Crespi and Archivio Gabriella Crespi.

Annie Kopchovsky was one of the first women to complete a round-the-world bicycle tour, setting off from Boston on 25 June 1894 and finishing 15 months later, on 12 September 1895. Her fame as a pioneering female figure was thanks to not only her remarkable sporting achievement but also her innovative reinterpretation of women’s clothing. The clothing that Annie implemented during her journey had both practical and political significance, igniting a major debate but helping her put forward a new definition of “femininity”. She switched from skirts to puffy pants and abandoned heavy fabrics for skirts, replacing Serge with a light wool. She wore shoes with rubber soles, bought a hat, and abandoned the corset forever. Newspapers described her as “a woman dressed in an outfit that will shape women’s fashion for the next century; The New Woman in tout”. The @dior Haute Couture Fall-Winter 2024-2025 show takes inspiration from this innovative approach to sportswear, which laid the groundwork for rethinking gender-appropriate attire, breaking down rigid gender boundaries. Annie Kopchovsky, 1896 circa.
Starting in the 1950s, Gabriella Crespi devoted herself to the creation of furniture and items that balanced design and abstract sculpture: her first collection of objects, lamps and steel sculptures was the ‘Small Lune Collection’. She caught the attention of Christian Dior and in the 1960s she created some home and table accessories, with the addition of furniture from the 1970s.
Tomorrow’s @dior Autumn Winter 2025 celebrates Gabriella Crespi. Her spirit, creations and legacy.
A special thank you to Archivio Gabriella Crespi and Elisabetta Crespi.
