PFW: CHRISTIAN DIOR S/S 2019 READY TO WEAR COLLECTION

It was the first and the opening show of the most exciting fashion week, Paris Fashion Week. There is that old saying "If  New York, London and Milan Fashion Weeks are the cake then Paris Fashion Week is a cherry on top!" And we have to admit, with the respect to the others, there is something so gasping and dreamy about Paris Fashion Week, maybe because of the fact that it is held in the center of fashion as well as the juxtaposition when the word is about Haute Couture. Anyways, yesterday the Paris FW has begun and it was opened by never the less than the collection of Christian Dior for Spring/Summer 2019 Ready To Wear created by the now well we need to say, a strong and legendary Maria Grazia Chiuri.

If you are on Twitter, you could watch it live and that fact has only undertoned the social media consciousness and conscious approach to the today´s society. The theme was connected and inspired by the dance, the modern and contemporary dance. The dancers were there during the whole show moving and dancing giving the whole show an artistically fully rounded event. Because that was. It was more than the fashion show. The music, the gloomy and mystical spirit which was held on point with metric homogeneous rhythm. It was like you have wandered into the dance show, the models were walking among the moving around dancers.

Now that we have captured the whole atmosphere which corresponded amazingly with the whole display of the outfits, let us talk about the collection. The dancing theme in the visual sense which was there in a concrete way was there in the fashion metaphorical way too. The ensembles which were inspired by the dancing gear, the modern ballerinas was kept throughout the whole collection. The sleek body on the top paired with the midi length chiffon dress was the leading and starting point of this whole story. The nude and simply toned down colors developing that famous Dior grey tones were there too.

The light and easy falling silhouette which was still very soft and feminine but with the soft casual chic which was held and captured in the most gentle fabrics. The already mentioned chiffon which has been for years so Dior texture, there were plenty of jerseys, even the elevated version of denim, the delicate but rough and robust lace was there too. The most beautiful and pure glamorous were definitely evening dresses with the shiny features coming through delicately. 

 Although the theme was in the causal and sports kind of way, Maria Grazia Chiuri has successfully delivered a fully romantic collection with the refined and polished approach. She knows how to make low key but strong clothes that does not scream all-eyes-on-me kind of vibe. Her style vision is smart, well thought and yet so feminine, gentle and simply womanly! And we like this kind of Woman that Maria Grazia Chiuri portraits!

What do you think about this collection? Do you like the contemporary dance theme? What is your thought on the forms and silhouettes as well as the colors?

Thank you for the attention!
