Dior Fall/Winter 2019 – Paris Fashion Week

Dior artistic director Maria Grazia Chiuri is back home at the Musee Rodin sculpture garden – in the courtyard – (the maison’s usual show space) ‘’rediscovering and celebrating the richness of house codes’’.
According to show notes, Teddy Girls, the British girl gangs in the 1950s who wore Edwardian-style suits, scarves, jeans, and leather jackets, served as one of the primary inspirations for the Fall/Winter 2019 collection. She has determined to de-chichi the house codes, especially the New Look, and put in an everyday, sportswear context. She did so by looking at British subcultures of the Fifties, inspired by the globe-trotting Dior exhibit as tweaked for its current installation at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
