The Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2024 show, presented by Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri, showcased a collection that emphasized the transformative power of clothing and the exaltation of craftsmanship and humanity. The show featured a total of 59 looks, with a significant focus on beige trench fabric, symbolizing quiet luxury and the undeniable savoir-faire of the ateliers. The collection’s backdrop, a monumental installation titled ‘Big Aura,’ made a broader statement on the transformative nature of clothing. The show took place at Paris’ Rodin Museum and opened with a reading of a poem by Patrizia Cavalli entitled ‘To Weave Is Human,’ highlighting the hand craftsmanship that distinguishes haute couture. The collection’s silhouettes revisited details of dresses from the Dior archives, and the show’s overall theme reflected a dialogue between the essence of Dior’s heritage and the spirit of the present. The set was conceived by Italian-born visual artist Isabella Ducrot and embroidered by the Chanakya Ducrot, who has a particular interest in fabrics from China, India, Turkey, and Central Asia.
