Humans and trees share an intricate, symbiotic relationship. Our bond with trees is vital as they absorb the carbon dioxide we expel and thus provide us with oxygen. Trees give us life. The Dior Spring/Summer 2020 show during Paris Fashion Week illustrated this bond by framing the dirt runway with different types of trees.

And Natalia Dyer, who plays Nancy Wheeler on Netflix’s Stranger Things, admired the Dior show. In a video filmed by Dior (linked below) viewers can go behind the scenes with Dyer and hear her thoughts on the show. She was dressed in an intricately beaded and black velvet jacket over a pair of denim pants as she posed for pictures and remarked about her knowledge of the trees.

“This one looks familiar. Is this an oak tree,” she questioned. “This is where it all started. If this was gone we don’t have anything. We exchange gases, you know, oxygen.”

She also shared an anecdote about a mimosa tree that was at the show and how her mother used to dot her hair with flowers produced from this tree. The video is brief but, through Natalia’s comments and the Dior show, it sheds light on the importance of the relationship between trees and us.
