Picking and choosing from “gendered” items, the collection takes high femme pieces and mixes them with masculine flourishes. Take the black heels with shin guards that become a Redcoat’s ‘boots’. The palette remained neutral: black, white and beige, spare the aforementioned red coat.
Structured and whimsical, in true Dior fashion, the FW25 runway flowed between past, present and future. Reinvigorated Dior classics, including the ‘J’adore Dior’ tee and Dior Saddle Bag caught the eye, as other pieces leant into customisation. Frilled removable collars elevated otherwise minimal looks, including the humble white shirt, whose contemporary androgyny inspired the designers.
A jewel of Paris Fashion Week, the Dior show attracted a star-studded front row of actors, style icons and K-pop stars. Natalie Portman was among the most notable names, along with Elle MacPherson, Lucy Hale and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo.
