Balancing Heritage & Modernity at the fashionshow of Christian Dior S/S 2024 Haute Couture


Maria Grazia Chiuri channels 1950s Dior for Christian Dior S/S 2024 Haute Couture, reimagining iconic silhouettes with moire's luxurious sway. Gowns, coats, and pants take on a timeless yet modern allure. 
The collection is a masterclass in balancing heritage and modernity. A beige coat with a gold-thread tapestry motif reflects Dior‘s love of 18th-century detail, while graphic black embroidery on an ivory skirt adds a dose of contemporary edge. Clean lines and architectural cuts coexist with delicate fabrics and ornate embellishments, creating a dialogue between eras that feels both harmonious and exciting. Earlier I wrote more blogs about Dior, SEE HERE Be Inspired .......

The Dandy Sofa is a seating system that brings the same thought that goes into indoor seating to the outdoors. The modular design can be arranged in a variety of different ways to fit your outdoor space, whether it’s on the deck, patio or by the pool.
