Dior, spring-summer 2023 haute couture collection

The moodboard for Dior’s haute couture collection featured Josephine Baker, a dancer, singer and actress, as well as a member of the Resistance movement and activist against racism. The collection opened with a Baker dressing room look: a draped satin bodysuit and quilted velvet robe. Fringed bodice and shimmering ankle-length dresses are reminiscent of the wild fashions of the 1920s, but the zeitgeist is also reflected in the now-swanky petticoats, pleated gowns, and deep-toned theatrical velvet options. .
