With identical reproductions of Niki de Saint Phalle’s colorful drawings, sequins imitating the mosaics of the artist’s sculptures, and pale tulle flowers inspired by her Les Mariées series of works, the ready-to-wear spring/summer 2018 collection designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri is a powerful statement of the savoir-faire and art of detail the House’s ateliers can boast.
In order to transpose the femininity encapsulated by the artist Niki de Saint Phalle into the dresses in the ready-to-wear spring-summer 2018 collection, the Dior ateliers used vaporous fabrics that sensually reveal the body through plays of transparency.
