Invidious

The #DiorFall25 collection unveiled in Kyoto marks the latest chapter in a story begun in the 1950s by Monsieur Dior when he began engaging in cultural exchanges with Japan, working with local partners and fostering a reciprocal and respectful hybridity arising from the meeting of Paris couture and Japanese taste and appreciation. Check out some of the looks from Maria Grazia Chiuri's new collection that highlight the enduring bonds between House and country, with collaborators creating hats and hand-loomed brocades, an archival cherry blossom motif reborn as a paean to the shared loved of gardens, and the way the classic Parisian trench coat is transformed by kimono-inspired cutting.
