- Story Text: Dior's creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri on Saturday (July 1) gave a sneak peak into the Paris fashion house's studios ahead of Haute Couture fashion week as the brand celebrates its 70th anniversary.
Chiuri, who was announced as the creative director of Dior in July 2016 after Raf Simons' departure, said she "went around Dior's archive" as Christian Dior "went around the world" to inspire her new collection.
The current Italian creative director and first woman to hold the role in the label's 70-year history is set to unveil Dior's highly-awaited Autumn/Winter 2017-18 Haute Couture collection on the catwalk on Monday (July 3).
Later on Monday, Paris's Decorative Arts Museum will hold a VIP opening for its latest exhibition, "Christian Dior: dream designer", bringing together the designs and cultural inspiration behind Dior's history. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
