INSPIRATION

Ever since she was 16 years old and saw an exhibition by Kahlo in Italy, Chiuri has been a huge fan. And now, she got to work with artisans from all over Mexico to bring Kahlo’s spirit to life in the Dior fashion show!

The show took place at the Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso, the same school where Frida Kahlo went and met her husband, Diego Rivera. Even though it was raining that day, the rain made the show even more special. It added a beautiful touch to the model’s hair, makeup, and eyebrows.

The collection itself was filled with flowy dresses and skirts that reminded everyone of Frida Kahlo and the Mexican Revolution. And guess what?

Many of the outfits had pockets, which is always a bonus!

The clothes were not only beautiful but also meaningful. They were made by talented artisans from different parts of Mexico. They used vibrant textiles and embroidered designs fromChiapas, creating dresses, shirts, vests, and jackets that were full of life. Dior also took inspiration from Frida’s suits and made their own feminine versions with flowy pants, skirts, andeven a tuxedo dress. It was all about embracing Frida’s style and making it even more fabulous!

To add the finishing touches, there were custom-made butterfly jewelry, hair clips, and belts. They even had Jarocho hats and lovely lace dresses inspired by Veracruz. Everything camtogether to create a magical fashion experience. But the show didn’t end with just the clothes. There was a special performance by a talented artist named Elina Chauvet.

She is known for her Red Shoes exhibits, where each pair of shoes represents a woman who has been a victim of violence. For this show, Chauvet collaborated with designers to create simple white cotton muslin dresses with red embroidered messages that symbolized women and their causes. It was a powerful way to raise awareness and show support.
