Dior

To clouds of falling white petals, dancers clad in patterned bodysuits twisted gracefully to the clicking sound of a metronome.

This season, Dior turned to dance to produce the music and visuals for its spring-summer collection, infused with diaphanous, tulle-rich gowns.

The house enlisted the talents of choreographer Sharon Eyal for a sublime and balletic contemporary dance performance that ran throughout the spring-summer show.

It had the star of “Divergent” and “Big Little Lies”, Shailene Woodley, floored.

“You marry dance with fashion and movement and you have a visceral, overwhelming experience,” Woodley told The Associated Press.

The runway hall was spacious enough to house the dozen roving dancers thanks to a marquee constructed in the grounds of the historic Longchamps racecourse, which dates to the 19th century and has been the site of some of former Dior designer John Galliano’s most memorable couture shows.

As ethereal as a layer of tulle, with the corset replaced by a simple tank top.

That’s how the House of Dior described the key idea behind designer Maria Grazia Chiuri’s soft and supple 87-piece show in monochrome and nude. Few risks were taken in this display. But this didn’t matter since the fashion, inspired by a dancer’s wardrobe, was primarily aimed at being simple and feminine.
