Dior presented Maria Grazia Chiuri's Spring/Summer 2025 Haute Couture collection at the Musée Rodin in Paris.

Maria Grazia Chiuri's Spring/Summer 2025 Haute Couture collection is an opportunity to revisit the memory of tailoring, particularly essential themes related to the creativity of past centuries, subverting the order of time and transporting us back to a dimension that belongs neither to the past nor the future, but to fashion itself and the notion of transformation that accompanies it. Maria Grazia Chiuri moves freely within this temporal paradox. Reminiscent of Through the Looking Glass, the mirrors that fill the haute couture ateliers allow one to enter an alternate reality governed by ever-shifting meanings.

This reality not only fulfills this fashion dream, but also has the power to transform forms and emotions, never forgetting its sense of surprise and rebellion. Maria Grazia Chiuri drew inspiration specifically from the Trapeze line created by a young Yves Saint Laurent for Dior in 1958. The collection then becomes a series of unpredictable encounters through the looking glass, where the here and now play a constant game of hide-and-seek. It's as if a constantly evolving being makes discoveries through each movement in the ever-shifting time of fashion. For example, lace-trimmed tulle culottes are a fragment of a deep memory of a childlike woman, able to easily cross any boundaries she wanted, to expand and contract the world as she pleased.

In a masterful play of contrasts, she transforms into a "flower woman," donning a petal cape or a short dress with a curvaceous floral crown at the neckline, or a woman in flight, wearing a headpiece revealing a punk mohawk reaching skyward.

In a modern and practical reinvention, the crinoline proves a site for endless fantasies, motifs and memories. This swaying cage, concealed in its construction, stretches and undulates with movement, like embroidered branches. A lightweight blouse bursting with floral embroidery is enhanced by hidden underwiring. A revealing bustier and draped skirt are also memorable.

Once again, the "La Cigale" silhouette, designed by Monsieur Dior for the Fall/Winter 1952-1953 Haute Couture collection, is reinterpreted in the original moiré weave fabric, combining a short skirt with a fitted tailcoat, highlighting contrasting proportions. The cape is adorned with delicate feathers crafted from organza.

The understated yet luxurious black highlights a coat that creates drama with even the most casual movement. Furthermore, a long dress, radiating with exquisite brilliance and three-dimensional embroidery in burnished silver, exudes infinite poetry, as if suspended in the eternal moment of fashion, whose essence is to satisfy every type of desire.

The show also featured an immersive artwork of nine paintings conceived by Ritika Merchant and reconstructed onto large textile panels by Karishma Swari, Chanakya Workshop and Chanakya School of Arts and Crafts.
