Color gradients and sheer design were emboldened by embroidery and allusions to beloved historical prints. Curling depictions of gardenia and exquisite ombrés painted the designs with authentic Japanese art styles. Tailoring prioritized movement, with flowing fabrics falling along the body and allowing full motion of the model. The clothing draped over the models’ figures, unfolding over the body in broad strokes of fabric. Modest cuts and necklines were contrasted by the tactful use of chiffon and sheer silk, offering a glimpse of the feminine physique while adhering to traditional Japanese styles. Among the runway looks was the renowned Dior Book Tote, reconceived by the stunning symbols found in Japanese culture. A marriage of the classic and the contemporary was honored on Dior’s runway, showcasing the versatility and harmony of opposing stylistic variants. By marrying Japanese silhouettes and prints with classic French craftsmanship, Dior portrayed femininity through a combined lens of strength and delicacy.
