After the success of the ubiquitus “ We Should All Be Feminist” (that is the title of Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie seminal TED talk) Tshirt, Maria Grazia Chiuri politically commitment stays strong. The show opened with Sasha Pivovarova wearing distressed jeans and a mariniere with another slogan that will soon become viral “Why have there been no great women artists?” another title from a feminist scholar, this time art historian Linda Nochlin. It’s indeed a provocation, reinforced by the use of Niki De Saint Phalle’s whimsical creatures embroidered on plumetis evening dresses, striped Tshirts and denim patchwork skirts. Dior girls for Spring Summer 2018 are sweet and tough at the same time: they wear lacy blouses and biker suits, mod parkas and micro dresses.
