Dior’s Spring Summer Spring 2023 Ready-to-Wear womenswear collection recently debuted in Paris.

 

 

Designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri the collection features elegant Lelievre Prints.

 

The floral patterns were proposed by Tassinari & Chatel, an old French House based in Lyon whose textiles are among the most sumptuous, refined and sought-after in the world.
