Feminism’s the word at Dior

Having a woman in the top position of a fashion house is always a top talking point and Maria Grazia Chiuri’s appointment to Dior was no different.

Her first outing for the brand focused on a new frontier. As always, the female body was a central point but Chiuri spoke the word ‘feminism’ loud and clear.

With statement tees proclaiming ‘We Should All Be Feminists’, an abundance of flat shoes and masculine detailing, this was a new era for the Dior woman.

Here’s a closer look at just how feminist Dior SS17 turned out to be.

Fashion Week SS17: all the celebrity front row action

Rihanna made the ultimate gym gear

Fencing gear

A long line of fencing-inspired suits took to the runway with tied white jackets and knee-length trousers offering women the chance to dress strong and masculine. Heart embroidery over the chest gave a cheeky womanly detail while Ruth Bell’s tomboy cut worked as the perfect accessory.

Statement tees

‘We Should All Be Feminists’ and ‘Dio®evolution’ shouted from models’ simple white t-shirts. Arguably the most-talked about designs of the collection, Chiuri’s message of take a stand and fight for your rights proved that fashion isn’t always frivolous.

Flat shoes

White slip-ons and knee-high fencing boots appeared along with the tiniest of heels. This collection was all about being comfortable. And how does that start? With being able to walk.

Corsets

Once a symbol of restriction, corsets are fast becoming a way of reclaiming female bodies. Women the world over were given the choice to show off their assets - when they choose to, how they choose to.

Denim

The blue stuff hasn’t been seen on the Dior catwalk for some time. But this season, Chiuri took the fabric’s easy-to-wear charm, dyed it white and paired it with sheer ruffled tops.

Tough leather

A red leather jacket proved to be the ultimate femme fatale look. Combined with a matching tulle dress, this particular Dior girl was feisty and not one to be reckoned with.
