The Goddesses
Dior chose Athens – the cradle of Western civilization and of European art – to present its Cruise 2022 collection. And in early December, Dior Indonesia presented a preview of the collection at Alila SCBD, Jakarta. Through the collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri reinvented her genealogy and tweaked various codes of the house codes. In that spirit, she created her own map of Greece, informed by the personalities and images that nourished her references and poetry, from the works of Giorgio De Chirico to vases decorated with wrestling matches by Alexandre Iolas. Giant silhouettes stand out in close-up on sketches by the artist Pietro Ruffo, or are camouflaged on a selection of sportswear pieces. The key pieces from the collection were shown here for a week to allow the brand’s VIP clientele to properly admire the beautiful pieces.
