THE 70'S YOUTHQUAKE IN DIOR'S NEXT WINTER COLLECTION

Fifty years after the momentum of urgency and creativity that the year 1968 brought, this is an opportunity for Maria Grazia Chiuri to revive an era when the rules of fashion were turned on their head. Indeed, thanks to this emulation which stimulated the emergence of new ideas, creativity for creativity’s sake, the cut-up technique and travel as a means of discovering others but also oneself, youth occupies a place at the centre of the scene. The Christian Dior Autumn-Winter 18-19 collection is dedicated to the new generations who may one day benefit from the 70's battles and have the same rights as men. Chiuri starts from 1968, an important year not only for society, but also fashion. The youthquake, the youthful earthquake that shook the 70's is reinvented and imagined by Dior's creative director. For this collection Maria Grazia Chiuri was guided by these symbols, her fashion instinct guides the designer throughout this return to a singular and incredible time, because changing the world also means changing clothes.
