Luxury fashion brand Christian Dior is expanding its intercontinental journey by showcasing its upcoming women’s ready-to-wear pre-collection for spring 2024 in Mexico City on May 20. This decision to bring the collection to Mexico is a testament to Dior’s appreciation for the country’s rich heritage. The fashion house aims to celebrate the skills and cultural diversity found in Mexico, while also highlighting its iconic figures and creativity. This is not the first time that Dior’s creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, has taken inspiration from Mexican culture. In a previous collection, she drew from the traditional Mexican horsewomen, known as “escaramuzas,” and the Charreada event. The event itself was held at the Chantilly estate in May 2018, where the collection was exhibited.
The month of May is bustling with notable fashion shows from various luxury brands. Pucci showcased its collection in Florence on May 4, followed by Chanel on May 9. Gucci is set to present its collection on May 16, and Louis Vuitton will unveil its collection on May 24 in Isola Bella on Lake Maggiore. Additionally, Max Mara is scheduled to reveal its cruise collection on June 11 in Stockholm.
With the gradual easing of travel restrictions post-Covid, luxury fashion brands are once again able to explore new destinations for their presentations. Christian Dior’s decision to showcase in Mexico City further emphasizes its commitment to exploring different cultures and celebrating diversity within the fashion industry. Fashion enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating how Maria Grazia Chiuri will incorporate Mexican influences into her latest collection, maintaining the iconic Dior aesthetic while adding a touch of Mexico’s rich heritage.
