Monsieur Dior would never begin to work on a couture collection without first consulting with his fortune teller Madame Delahaye. Even the start of House Dior can be attributed to a higher power, his lucky star that he tripped over in 1946, a sign to follow on to his destiny. Symbols of magic and luck are present as Dior motifs to this day seen as things of good fortune to share with the women he dressed.
Maria Grazia Chiuri has
collaborated with and taken inspiration from several female artists with divine influence such as Niki De Saint Phalle, Karen Vogel and Vicki Nobel, Georgia O’Keefe and more for many collections throughout her time as creative director at Dior. We have collected a list of female and queer artists to look into if you are inspired by the work of MGC and her collaborations. Pamela Coleman Smith is the woman behind the tarot deck that is seen most frequently nowa-days, seen in movies and shows and in most stores to purchase. The tarot has been recreated in different decks by plenty of artists over the years but one of the most magical interpretations is by Leonora Carrington. Her work is haunting and other worldly, perfectly capturing divine powers of the tarot in her art. Artists like Hilma Af Klint, Georgiana Houghton, Emma Kunz and Judy Chicago all in there lives have explored the power of femininity, some being very spiritual and being healers they portray through their art ideas of the divine feminine and everything that it represents. Femininity typically represents birth and creation, abundance, earth and nature, opportunity and motherhood.
