The Making of Dior’s Iconic Bar Jacket

As part of the Cruise 2023 collection Maria Grazia Chiuri reinvents the iconic Dior Bar Jacket once again. An icon for almost a century the Bar jacket was first presented by Christian Dior in 1947.

With its ground-breaking modern shape, the Bar jacket set off a fashion movement at its time and became one of the most desired pieces by society’s high-flying women.

This season the Bar Jacket returns as part of the Cruise 2023 collection. Much like the full collection, the new addition of this icon is inspired by the area of Seville in Spain and its traditions.

The jacket is presented with a high neck and multiple buttons adding detailing on the cuffs and body celebrating Andalusian culture and savoir-faire. It pays a particular tribute to Chinese culture through the use of Pankou buttons.

Grazia Chiuri worked with talented local artisans as she oversaw the creation process blending the finest in savoir-faire with Traditional crafts. We take a closer look at the creation process behind this elegant look.
