The liberated spirit of the ‘Miss Dior’ line, introduced by Marc Bohan in 1967, infuses Maria Grazia Chiuri’s A/W24 collection for the Parisian house. Marking Dior’s first foray into ready-to-wear, whereby customers could purchase the house’s clothing without the need for lengthy couture fittings, Chiuri drew inspiration from the fluidity and ease of the line’s garments, which were designed by Bohan’s assistant Philippe Guibourgé. ‘A moment of creative freedom,’ described Chiuri of the era, reimagined by the Italian designer in a collection of vivid colour and abbreviated, 1960s-inspired silhouettes, as well as a ‘Miss Dior’ motif scrawled, graffiti-style, across skirts and jackets.
