À l’occasion de la Fashion Week parisienne, Dior a dévoilé sa collection Printemps/Été 2025, une collection de prêt-à-porter d’exception, au cœur de la Ville Lumière. S’inspirant du dynamisme des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de Paris 2024 , la directrice artistique Maria Grazia Chiuri a invité l’artiste pluridisciplinaire de renom SAGG Napoli à créer une installation et une performance artistiques à la fois audacieuses et intimistes, en hommage à cette nouvelle collection . « Le cœur dans une main, l’arc dans l’autre », tel était le titre captivant de cette œuvre magistrale réalisée par Napoli pour la prestigieuse maison de couture.

SAGG Napoli and Maria Grazia Chiuri Launch an Experiential and Meaningful Runway
Conceived by the skillful Napoli, whose vibrant creative practice spans sculpture, video, installation, and performance, a dreamlike runway of sleek glass windows enhanced by architectural metallic curves blossomed. Lit from the floor with a heavenly blue glow, meaningful text washed over the experiential artwork.
“May the building of a strong mind and a strong body be the greatest work I have ever made,” read the principal script at the end of the catwalk. Further heartfelt sentiments such as “I don’t know if I’ve ever shined, but I have resisted,” and “How can I tell you it’s urgent if I don’t show you how personal it is?” set the scene for a tremendous and unforgettable presentation.

Napoli’s Bold Archery Performance Leads to a New Dior Collection Inspired by the Archives
Beginning with Napoli’s gripping archery performance, utilizing one of the world’s oldest disciplines in order to invoke an exhilarating balance of mind, body, and soul, the Dior Spring/Summer 2025 collection decadently unfolded.
In a proficient contemporary dialogue between fashion and the female form, Chiuri drew from the maison’s majestic archives in order to develop a lionhearted series of looks. Founder Christian Dior’s illustrious Amazone dress of the Autumn/Winter 1951-52 collection laid the groundwork for striking, flexible garments with multiple facets and functions.

Powerful New Dimensions are Revealed for Day and Night Ensembles
Athletic contours, graphic lines, as well as a lyrical play between black and white pieces revealed exceptional new dimensions for day and night ensembles. The purity of a timeless, crisp white shirt was revisioned as a fluid dress, in the form of an avante-garde jacket, or deconstructed to reveal the power of bare skin.
“Calm, Courageous, and Consistent” was the inscription on the runway, and the collection’s lush palette delivered. Serene shades of nude, creme, and gold shifted easily to white, onyx, and silver. Dazzling embroidery and fringe details with eye-catching metallic moments were infused into a parade of warm weather pieces, rooted in lace-up gladiator-like footwear. Jersey evening gowns and sporty shirts embraced the magnificence of female curves, while allowing for the ultimate freedom of emotion and movement.
The crimson red embellishment on a cool girl bomber jacket instilled a dose of mortal passion, while chic headbands, and effortless handbags swung around the torso, motivated radiant liberation in style and attitude for the contemporary Dior goddess.
