Dior Embraces Change, Color, and Freedom for SS22

Chiuri’s designs boldly attempted to make sense of a world that is sprawling in its beliefs. The looks themselves were practical—tailored skirts with short sleeved blazers and collared shirts, sleeveless shift dresses, and sporty boxing shorts with coordinating bralettes. The mixing of textures and material like nylon, scuba, and denim, represented dressing for the future. Bright white fringe tops worn with shorts were used to evoke bopping around in the Piper Club in Rome, which functioned for Chiuri as an emblem for freedom. Many looks were muted, but when color did appear, shades and tones were directly taken from Paparatti’s use of color throughout her work. Dior has the hope that despite the ready-to-wear looks being functional for different settings, and many contrast with the next, they could all be worn together at one big nonsensical party.
