For Dior's fall collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri celebrated the 1950s through the prism of three French heroines.
But rather than rehashing archival designs, or conjuring a modern-day version of Betty Draper, the designer delved into the stories of three heroines who shaped the post-war years in Paris. Dior’s sister Catherine, a French Resistance fighter during World War II, and singers Édith Piaf and Juliette Gréco inspired a lineup that had more than a touch of beatnik about it.
Totaling a whopping 96 looks, the lineup was underpinned by the kind of bustier dresses and razor-pleated skirts that wouldn’t look out of place in the early seasons of “Mad Men.” But Chiuri mussed up those neat silhouettes with crinkled surface effects, some of them achieved with fabrics incorporating stainless steel thread.
