As the cruise shows continue, Dior headed to the mountaintop last night. The cruise 2018 show debuted at the Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve in Calabasas, California, where the infamous movie Gone with the Wind was filmed, who would have known!

Why California? Dior’s creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, referred back to the house founder’s past works fascinated by Lascaux; name the “Ovale” collection; debuted in 1951, which was inspired by the southwestern community who discovered ancient cave paintings.

Chiuri brought the Lascaux collection back into life, by drawings of spirit animals on silk and raffia jacquard displayed on skirts and ponchos, and in big primitive prints inspired by painter Georgia O’Keeffe were on cotton dresses and fluffy fur coats with symbolic motifs that mix the past with the present

As the show started we instantly see Chiuri’s feminine touch, where she had t-shirts printed and painted with tarot illustrations that gave the entire collection a magical charm.

The collection debuted a stunning black cashmere coat with white arabesques paintings, and bead-embroidered denim looks which where the ultimate highlight of the show, along with various prairie style dresses and a-line midi skirt. While, models cascaded down wearing a black leather beret and with every look it matched with a classic flat-brim hat.
