“The Cruise 22 collection shown in Athens was nourished by many different ideas. The famous shooting of Jean-Pierre Pedrazzini, taken for Paris Match in 1951, tells a tale of returning to the origins of beauty with the Dior models in front of the Parthenon, and it pushed me to think about the canons, proportions and harmony that can only be found when the body meets draping fabric. I wanted to take this experience, which had defined a specific moment in Dior’s heritage, and bring it back into the House’s present world. Being able to hold the show in the immense Panathenaic Stadium, iconic for the white marble in which it is blanketed, was an extraordinary feeling. Combining this with the theory of the models walking it, punctuating the space, resulted in something remarkably ancient and majestic that really resonated with me.” – Maria Grazia Chiurri
