On February 27th, Dior, under artistic director Maria Grazia Chiuri, presented its Fall/Winter 2018-19 women's collection in a special tent set up at the Musée Rodin in Paris. This season, inspired by the concept of "Youthquake," a social movement of the 1960s, the collection showcased Dior's signature couture style and meticulous handcrafting, showcasing a more youthful image than ever before. The term "Youthquake" was coined by Diana Vreeland, editor-in-chief of Vogue in the 1960s, and refers to the cultural, social, and political changes driven by young people at the time. Last year, it was included in the Oxford English Dictionary's list of buzzwords. Marking the 50th anniversary of the term's creation, the collection features positive connotations of change and innovation.

However, the collection is free of the stuffiness associated with social movements, and instead features colorful floral motifs and patchwork reminiscent of hippie culture and flower children, creating a happy, pop impression. Patchwork, in particular, is a key motif this season and has been positioned as a new print. The iconic "Bar" jacket is coordinated with an organza skirt, and ethnic-style embroidery is used, showing off Maria Grazia Chiuri's signature style.

The gorgeous bags, which seem to encapsulate the unique characteristics of each item, are seamlessly embroidered with beads and colored threads for the ultimate in gorgeousness. The saddle bag, which was a huge hit in the mid-90s, is also back. As always, the accessories are a must-see.
