This is not a collection for people looking to make a dramatic statement through their outfit. This is not a collection aimed at influencers or celebrities, but the wealthy people you wouldn't recognize if you happened to meet them.
This collection personifies quiet elegance, an understated beauty, and is for those looking for pieces they can wear for a lifetime, and maybe even pass onto their family. Just beautiful.

Absolutely stunning! Feminine, classic colors with lines and fabrics that drape and flow. Gorgeous shoes finish with perfection. Beautifully and well done to all at Dior!

[toshis]

Splendid, I see the original Dior creation with modernity. Exquisite craftsmanship....

[NextToToddliness]

I absolutely love this direction for Dior. The direct nods to Josephine Baker is so cool and I really appreciate all the textile manipulations and beadwork. It really is a modern collection that feels like it could be from any time period, which is the essence of classic.

Love seeing all these gorgeous, glamorous Black icons on the walls: Josephine Baker, Eartha Kitt, Nina Simone, did I see Dorothy Dandridge as well? I love seeing them reflected in the model casting and styling of the hair, especially in the most obvious Josephine Baker references. Just amazing. And bravo for the wearability of the pieces too!

[mousiebrown]

Peep-toe platform shoes! My mother had some! I’m 73 yrs old. Must have been from late 1930’s to 1940’s………. I like them!
