Maria Grazia Chiuri kicked off her show with a statement tee bearing the line “Why have there been no great women artists?,” the title of a famous feminist essay by Linda Nochlin in 1971, and followed it up with a collection influenced by the colourful art of the late female sculptor Niki de Saint Phalle. The French-american’s Tarot-inspired mystical female figures adorned the set, and references could be seen scattered throughout the collection. Chiuri’s youthful spin was evident in shorts, low-heeled boots and denim, and plenty of tulle, of course.
