Inspired by the unforgettable 1951 Parthenon photoshoot done by Dior in Athens, Maria Grazia Chiuri creates elegant flowing pieces that evoke the beauty and history of Greece. With gowns that graze the floors and desirable layers of fabric draped around statuesque figures against the Acropolis, our eyes are still immediately drawn to the structured jackets, pants, and sportswear separates that speak of freedom. While Ancient Roman principles oft adhered to restrained standards, the merits of this collection, while paying homage to Greece, is the personal flair of Maria Grazia Chiuri—always stepping forward to marry both traditional and contemporary in a way that leaves us completely enamored.
