Creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri took inspiration from the Maison’s history with a collection inspired by the oldest known tarot cards in the world: the Visconti-Sforza. Inspired by the magical world of Tarot, the collection draws Christian Dior’s passion for divinatory arts and signs of destiny. The collection was presented with the help of short film Château du Tarot, directed by Matteo Garrone.
Maria wished to share the mysterious beauty of the tarot in a series of dresses featuring virtuoso constructions; manifest proof that couture remains the ultimate area of experiments.
Tarot cards are among the keys to accessing the magical realm, to explore the unknown while fearlessly looking deep inside oneself. Maria showed how she felt a connection with this imaginary world, visual language which is quite complex yet fascinating.
