124. Dior's Feminism

Unravel A Fashion Podcast

Joy and Jasmine discuss Dior's brand of feminism under the creative direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri. In 2016, Maria Grazia Chiuri made feminism a part of her artist design statement. It was a huge hit but some were critical that is was diluting the message of feminism protests, the Women’s March, etc. At the time the “We Should All Be Feminists” t-shirt (seen on the left) was a huge hit and they were bought up, copied, and resold at an accelerated rate. The clothes are beautiful but white feminism is not. Dior isn’t the only designer to talk about feminism on the runway. Prabal Gurung (seen on the right) has a more intersectional approach to his aesthetics.
