Claude Cahun, Jacqueline Lamba, 1939

#pariscoutureweek @fhcm ” THÉÂTRE DE LA MODE 👁 : @mariagraziachiuri ‘s @dior collection, clothes-wise, was surprisingly good. And they really, really could just leave it the way it is, a proper look-book photos of mannequins wearing couture and a well-written press release. Unfortunately, the brand decided to start with a visual, where everything went wrong. I’m talking about the film directed by @matteogarroneofficial , which I found cheesy in production and, well, so, so ignorant towards current events going on in the world. As if Black Lives Matters never happened, an all white cast without a single model of colour held it all back to the maximum. And having models of colour in a casting is the easiest way for a brand to confront the term “diversity” – something Chiuri used to say was so important to her, with all her “feminist” themes… – and believe it or not, Dior failed with it. Which is sad and frustrating. Ok… lets go back to the collection. The film showed mermaids, nymphs, a live Venus statue and a travelling trunk of dresses (a nod to Théâtre de la Mode, the tour of miniature gowns on dolls in 1945-46 to revive the French fashion industry post-war) exploding into the woods in an Ancient dreamscape, and all that lead us to a collection filled with references of Greek mythology, fairytales and pre-Raphaelite times. Maria Grazia Chiuri name-checked the likes of #LeeMiller, #DoraMaar, #LeonorFini and #JacquelineLamba – 20th-century women who are often remembered by history for their beauty or for their famous lovers and husbands, but in fact did important work of their own as artists.🧚🏻‍♀️” Collage / Review by @designandculturebyed __ #fashion #fashionweek #pfw #fall20 #couture #hautecouture #runway #collection #stylesightworldwide #designandculturebyed #collage #fashioncollage #fashionart #DACBE #dior #MariaGraziaChuri https://www.instagram.com/p/CCW7AN9BBo5/?igshid=9dhg7jf3y1yr
