Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Dior Autumn-Winter 2025-2026 show at Paris Fashion Week was a powerful exploration of fashion through transformation. Set against a dramatic stage designed by Robert Wilson, the show was a theatrical journey through time, blending Dior’s heritage with modern identity.

Chiuri drew on key elements of the brand’s history, including the iconic white shirt, reimagining it as a symbol of gender neutrality and self-expression. Influences from former Dior Artistic Director Gianfranco Ferré were also evident, with intricate structured lines and layered textures throughout the collection.

The pieces ranged from intricate lace collars and velvet skirts to utilitarian raincoats, all framed by a dialogue between past and future. Highlights included the return of the J’adore Dior t-shirt by John Galliano and a modern take on Virginia Woolf’s “Orlando” ruff, signaling a fluid evolution of gender and identity. The dramatic visual shifts—from craters to an iceberg—paralleled Chiuri’s constant reinvention.

We loved the collection’s seamless blend of historical and contemporary, celebrating a femininity that is both rooted in tradition and forward-looking, inviting everyone to embrace their own transformation in Dior.
