Dior’s Spring/Summer 2022 haute couture collection by Maria Grazia Chiuri celebrates the crossroads of art and craft and the beauty of experts coming together to create something as beautiful as a Haute Couture collection.
For her “Art in Dialogue” collection Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri wanted to shed light on her creative dialogue with India, by bringing together two artists: Madhvi and Manu Parekh. The objective was to highlight the complementary notion of male and female.
The showspace featured the work of the two artists, covering the entirety of the walls bringing together the work of the two to create a unique new art piece in itself. This coming together is the basis for Chiuri’s collection which celebrates the craft of embroidery.
The House of Dior worked with Chanakya School of Craft in Mumbai. The school’s embroiderers worked closely with the Creative Director to elevate the savoir-faire of the collection which revisited Dior icons and offered a new take on the coming together of femininity and masculinity.

The collection itself came in a striking colour palette of black, white and greys, with iridescent fabrics adding a touch of sparkle and a sense of joy. Embroidery was of course a key element of the offering and could be seen in many different ways throughout the pieces.
