The pioneering Black performer Josephine Baker was Dior’s muse for an old school spring couture collection of archetypal classicism. But the event’s first day wasn’t without controversy. Here are some highlights from the first day of Paris Fashion Week.
According to Dior, a series of coats, a take on bathrobe styles depicted “the cozy, intimate dressing room that precedes entrance on stage.” In couture terms they were undeniably beautiful, if somewhat restrained. The first came in silk velvet; its black diamond lapels hung with a dramatic weight. It was worn over delicately smocked satin swimwear in a take on the 1950s.
Williams called coming to the show “such a dream,” in part because she has just played Dior’s sister, Catherine Dior, in the highly anticipated Apple TV drama series “The New Look” — which center on the bitter rivalry between the couturier and Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel.Williams, who found fame playing the feisty Arya Stark, told Te Associated Press that “I find the Dior woman to be something to really aspire to,” calling the clothes “powerful” for women.
Designer Daniel Roseberry was on top form Monday — taking classical styles and giving them unexpected twists. A dark tuxedo with stiff oversize shoulders was transformed into a minimalist, space-age jumpsuit. Yet the collection was also reverential to the house founder whose unique brand of frivolity charmed audiences around the world. A giant lion’s head — replete with fangs and bushy mane — modeled by Irina Shayk added a bite to this collection. It was an inventive nod to Surrealism, but also a statement about the absurdity of the use of fur.
