The theme of ‘Dance’ is at the heart of Dior’s Spring-Summer 2019 Ready- to-Wear Collection. Dior recently launched its Spring-Summer 2019 Ready- to-Wear Collection with Dance as its theme. With this new collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri, Creative Director of Dior women's collections, begins a new chapter devoted to the arts and feminism. “Dance is at this collection’s heart. Dance as a liberating act, an action of the body, a dimension that uses rhythm, movement and music to connect with the deepest part of our being. Dance and fashion define the body and, through discipline, teach us to own it… It is contemporary dance celebrated as a universal language and liberating act, an art of movement,” states the Dior website. According to Dior, “Chiuri drew inspiration from the works of a series of artists who shook up established codes in order to develop another idea of the beauty of the body in motion in a new relationship with space, time and nature. These heroines of contemporary dance, Loie Fuller, Isadora Duncan, Ruth Saint Denis, Martha Graham and Pina Bausch, revolutionized their discipline in order to reconnect it to the origins of the world, a Dionysian melange, the vital energy that powers each culture.” Bodysuits, tanks and light jumpsuits form a choreography of clothing in an infinity of nude shades, a multitude of variations, corresponding to the body’s movements. They become the base and the complement to a series of pieces in the collection, such as full and airy skirts, as well as short or long tutus. They reveal volumes specific to traditional male dance costumes, reflecting a popular culture prized by Maria Grazia Chiuri. The dresses are as ethereal as a layer of tulle, while the corset has been replaced by a simple tank. As a visual allusion to hip-hop sounds, another inspiration for part of the collection, jeans serve to emphasize the relaxed silhouette.According to Dior website, “...greeting the guests, a monumental, immaculate structure standing in the heart of the racecourse displayed several quotes: ‘dance, dance, otherwise we are lost,’ ;dance is the movement of the universe concentrated in an individual,’ ‘everything must come from the heart, must be lived,’ ‘nothing is more revealing than movement, the body says what words cannot,’ ‘I am not interested in how people move; I’m interested in what makes them move,’ and ‘the story comes from inside the body.’Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the collection Read more
