In a collaboration with Italian artist Anna Paparatti, Dior presented their pop-art campaign video to Daft Punk’s energising, “All Around the World.”
DIOR HAS GIFTED us with colour and effervescence for their latest ready-to-wear range.
While the French Maison’s collection for Paris Haute Couture Week was elegant and understated with tulle, hand-stitched tights and muted tones — their 2022 Spring/Summer RTW is both playful and provocative.
Summoning the pulsating energy of London in the Swinging ’60s, Dior creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri has shown off a mix of mini-skirted suits and coat dresses — all splashed with oranges, mustards and greens. One particular orange suit can also be seen on Cara Delevingne for Harper’s BAZAAR UK’s latest cover shoot.

The heavy colour blocking — and pop-art theme — is partly due to Dior’s ongoing creative collaboration with iconic Italian artist Anna Paparatti. The 85-year-old recently created a human-sized board game for the house’s Spring-Summer 22 runway at the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris.
Lensed by Brigitte Niedermair, Dior’s “creations come to life in the same hyperkinetic, chromatic spirit.” The Italian art/fashion photographer also has a book Photographie: Christian Dior by Brigitte Niedermair scheduled for release this April 12.
A campaign video set to Daft Punk’s energising “Around the World” further reinforces Dior’s intent to question “the role of play in our lives.”
Aside from clothing, Chiuri also revisits — and reinterprets — its Lady Dior bag by scaling it down to the-now trendy micro-bag form.
A diverse group of models also “establish a unique aesthetic dialogue, while MissDior sunglasses complete these magnetic silhouettes with their 50’s allure.”
It’s the Dior party we all want to attend.
