Dior's Artistic Dance with Niki de Saint Phalle: Timeless Design Refreshed
Maria Grazia Chiuri pays homage to Niki's iconic imagination.
In Dior's rich history, a special thread weaves the Maison to art, igniting its creative soul. Niki de Saint Phalle, a feminist artist, entered this dance in 1954, photographed in Dior by Henry Clarke. Their profound alliance, solidified in 1965 by Marc Bohan, birthed extraordinary collaborations, now celebrated in Maria Grazia Chiuri's 2018 collection.
Fast forward to today, and Niki's spirit lives on in revived pieces, paying homage to her iconic works. The Lady Dior, Dior Book Tote, and silk squares showcase vivid motifs inspired by her imagination, while dragons adorn t-shirts, knits, and denim.
Beyond fashion, these pieces become enchanting desires, hymns to freedom and artistic expression. Each item echoes Niki de Saint Phalle's spirit, inviting you into a world where fashion and art merge seamlessly—an ode to timeless creative freedom.
