Maria Grazia Chiuri paid tribute to the traditions of southern Italy with her elaborate Dior cruise spectacle.
Maria Grazia Chiuri staged an all-singing, all-dancing homage to the rites, traditions and craftsmanship of the southern Italian region of Puglia for her Dior resort show on Wednesday, held in the center of Lecce against a vibrant backdrop of colored light installations.
When Chiuri began working on the line last November, she tapped local artisans for what she billed as her most personal collection yet for Dior. “It was a miracle to complete this collection, honestly,” she said. “We felt it was very important for us to give hope for the future to all the people who were working in some way with us on the project.”
Chiuri worked with two local organizations that are preserving ancient weaving techniques: Tessitura Calabrese and Le Costantine Foundation, whose motto — “Cantando e Amando” — was woven into outfits including a cream-colored skirt paired with a cobwebby top and chunky black boots. Some local papers reported that not everyone was happy with the light installations designed by contemporary artist Marinella Senatore, on the grounds that they obscured the architecture of the square. Chiuri played down the controversy, saying that journalists had blown up the story without knowing the details of the project.
