The Plaza de España in Seville last night hosted one of the most anticipated events of the season. Dior sets his sights on the capital of Seville to publicize its cruise 2023 collection in an exclusive event that has appreciated the Andalusian tradition and culture. Victoria Federica, Marta Ortega or Chiara Ferragnihave gathered in the square, among other things, to enjoy the Andalusian night.
For Maria Grazia Chiuri, the creative director of the House French, the Dior Cruise 2023 collection is a journey of discovery and reflection. The chosen locations provide a spectacular setting for an exhibition of garments that follow one another to recreate a parade, echoing the company’s history and its desire to seek original collaborations, inspired by its territories of origin.
The icon of this collection is La Capitana, the nickname attributed to Carmen Amaya† With his freedom to dance, stripped of all rules, he represented the essence of flamenco† An artist with unique and revolutionary movements, she was the first dancer to dress in menswear, thus combining strength and vulnerability through her art. She expressed the soul of Spain like no other and embodies a conscious and multiple femininity even today.
From Bal à Séville’s haute couture dress from the 1956 spring-summer collection — designed by Christian Dior — to the Plaza de España — built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition as a melting pot of the cultures that shaped and represent the country of the multiplicity, real and metaphorical places transcend boundaries and rediscover the dress codes that inspire fashion. In this intense atmosphere, rendered in the chiaroscuro of some of Goya’s paintings and through the verses of Federico García Lorca, a creative process emerged that combined fascination, tribute, interpretation and restitution.
The aim was not only to place the parade in a unique setting, but also to work side by side with the artisans of the region to enrich the company’s new proposals for the new season with their work. We take a look at the best looks from the catwalk (many of them are reminiscent of the Duchess of Alba, an iconic character who rode a horse with Jackie Kennedy, dressed in a cropped jacket, high-waisted trousers and a wide-brimmed hat that is turned to the side. behave).
Lace is shown in different forms and is present in different styles.
For Maria Grazia Chiuri, all the local craftsmen who contributed to the creation of the pieces and accessories have played a fundamental role and have helped the designer to glorify Andalusian culture, as is the case with Fernández y Roche, the company responsible for the hats.
“Black is the most slimming color. It’s the most flattering. You can wear it at any age. You can wear it for almost any occasion. I could write a whole book about black,” Christian Dior used to say. This color has taken over many outfits from the parade.
We have also seen lavish skirts that symbolize the essence of Dior and Spain.
As for the colours, the collection has declined in different versions of black and white styling, but also with small pops of color in red.
Dior has confirmed that one of the most powerful trends we’ll see in the coming months will be designs with transparencies.
We’ve also seen the occasional look with printed high-waisted shorts.
Maria Grazia Chiuri has made the Dior Cruise event a meeting of emotions and intentions, conveying an idea of fashion as everyday as it is extraordinary, with creations that pay tribute to the multiplicity of visions of femininity.
