The Making of Dior’s SS25 Haute Couture Collection

Emma Hodgson   |   26-04-2025

Diors Spring/Summer 2025 haute couture collection focused on the Cigale silhouette, first designed by Monsieur Dior for the autumn-winter 1952-1953 haute couture line.

This season, Maria Grazia Chiuri reinvents this iconic shape in the original moiré fabrics, adopted for a little skirt paired with a fitted tailcoat, accentuating the contrasting proportions. The cape is embellished with feathers delicately crafted in organza.

The crinoline, in its modern, practical version, proves to be an extraordinary breeding ground for memories, yielding to the most excessive fantasies and motifs.

This shaken cage concealing its construction discloses threads that stretch and undulate with every movement, like embroidered branches. Simply hiding its structure, the underwiring enhances light blouses sublimated by floral embroidery. The visible bustiers and draped skirts are unforgettable.

Black, both sober and superb, magnifies the coats, which orchestrate and underline the choreography of minute motions. The long dress shines supremely with its three-dimensional burnished silver embroidery, at the heart of a poetics of the absurd.

It seems suspended in the perpetual temporality of fashion, the essence of which is to fulfil desires of all kinds.

As with all the brands offerings, this feminine collection celebrates the mastery and talent of the houses founder, bring romance and fairy-tales to life.
