At the Dior Spring-Summer 2019 Haute Couture show held in Paris recently, several decades of fashion history intertwined with the magical atmosphere of the circus. The collection paid tribute to the Christian Dior’s frequent forays to the Cirque d’Hiver, and the path breaking “Dovima and the Elephants” image shot by Richard Avedon, which featured a dress created by Dior.Maria Grazia Chiuri, the designer of the Spring-Summer 2019 Haute Couture Collection, brought many elements associated with circus to the outfits, which also showcased the savoir-faire of the house. While acrobats from the Mimbre circus company performed various routines.The show, which was held under a tent, pitched facing the rear facade of the Musee Rodin, featured unitards enriched with motifs that created a wearable story associated with the circus. Grazia Chiuri also drew inspiration from the ballet “Parade” — for which Pablo Picasso created a curtain for — and used similar elements to create embroidered skirts. Additionally, outfits traditionally associated with clowns inspired the short tulle dresses created with duchesse satin, and layers of ruff, which resulted in airy silhouettes. Clover-shaped frogging on trousers and jackets drew from the design favored by animal trainers, while dresses suitable for evening wear featured several panels of fabric embellished with rhinestones.Hats were a big part of the show and were fashioned as bonnets that fit snugly onto the head. Created from sparkling material, the hats were adorned with nets sprinkled with rhinestones.Click on the slideshow to check the collection.http://www.blouinartinfo.comFounder: Louise Blouin Read more
