Rather than present a traditional Dior look, a variation on the Bar jacket or extravagantly embellished evening gown, Chiuri created a black catsuit that came alive with fluorescent green panels, lit up with lighting in a geometric artery-like pattern across the body. It set the tone for a collection that experimented with technology and its capabilities to revolutionize the way fashion is designed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This first look, and the many that succeeded it were part of a collaboration between Dior and the Italian sports-tech company D-Air Lab (the name similarities are just a fun coincidence). The second look saw D-Air rework the iconic Dior Bar jacket by turning it inside out and outfitting it with an internal heating system, and futuristic-looking padding detail, in homage to the internally-seamed hip pads of the original 1950s design. Elsewhere sporting motifs like racing gloves, technical biker jackets, and football-style shoulder pads were paired with soft lace gowns and sleek tailored suits. The effect was dynamic\u2014and prescient.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_210334\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-210334\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-210334\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/GettyImages-1375582020.jpg\" alt=\"Christian Dior Fall Winter 2022\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1537\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-210334\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PARIS, FRANCE &#8211; MARCH 01: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY &#8211; For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from Fashion House) Xiaodan Wu walks the runway during the Dior Womenswear Fall\/Winter 2022-2023 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on March 01, 2022 in Paris, France. (Photo by Peter White\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cClothes are themselves a form of protection&#8230; they reassure us,\u201d Chiuri told <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Guardian<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> backstage at the show. \u201cThat aspect is very present in what I do &#8212; emotional protection as well as protection in its proper sense.\u201d Many have been quick to note that the \u2018protective\u2019 energy of the collection\u2014which extended to airbag corsets and thick-padded vests\u2014gave an eerie nod to the unfolding tragedy in Ukraine. The collection was designed before Vladamir Putin\u2019s devastating attack, but Chiuri used the news to make a bold feminist statement. \u201cThe problem is cultural and patriarchal. There must be more women in decision-making positions. There would be fewer wars,&#8221; she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That feminist sentiment extended to the set pieces. Those familiar with Chiuri\u2019s work at Dior will know that each season she partners with a feminist artist, heroing their work in the runway presentation. This season the honour went to Mariella Bettineschi. With the artist\u2019s permission, Chiuri hung pieces from Bettineschi\u2019s collection \u2018The Next Era\u2019, which features portraits of women from the 16th to the 19th centuries (most created by male artists), with their eyes slices and stacked to suggest a \u201cdouble vision\u201d. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWomen, in art or through clothing, have been constricted and I want to change that point of view by modifying their eyes,\u201d the artist explained. And so the set, like the collection itself, explored the dualities of feminine existence\u2014soft and hard, feminine and masculine, utilitarian and superfluous. In a moment where the aftershocks of male tyranny are being felt throughout Europe\u2014and the world, it was a welcome escape, if only for a moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_210335\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-210335\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-210335\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/GettyImages-1375580896.jpg\" alt=\"Christian Dior Fall Winter 2022\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1537\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-210335\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PARIS, FRANCE &#8211; MARCH 01: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY &#8211; For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from Fashion House) A model walks the runway during the Dior Womenswear Fall\/Winter 2022-2023 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on March 01, 2022 in Paris, France.
