It’s what you don’t say. It’s what you can’t hear. The unspoken hypnosis of body language. An inexplicably refined sense of expression. It’s emotion beyond iteration. For Fall/Winter 2022, the house of Christian Dior puppeteered a modern elegance, a collection that transpires our theatre of impression. And it evokes a performer, one costumed in new-world couture designed to inspire and indulge. She is an artist from the veins of the theatres of Commedia and Noh, and hers is the call of the harlequin. In the spotlight her mask is magic and with skilful subversion she tempts us into a season of lace silhouettes, tulle gowns and embroidered heels. It’s a ballet, of sorts, one that persuades us to believe the unbelievable. A painterly portrait of an exquisite mime who pirouettes in a blur of illusion. She manifests an oeuvre of decadence – a Caro bag, a D Renaissance ring, some Idylle slippers – in her graceful spectacle. And without a word she captures the moment, one destined to fascinate long beyond the curtain call
