The Christian Dior website states the dreamworld of the Dior spring-summer 2022 women’s ready-to-wear collection is nourished by curiosity, desire, and research. The collection is structured around a network of associations as Maria Grazia Chiuri explores Marc Bohan’s long tenure as Creative Director of Dior.

THE SCENOGRAPHY

A fascinating personality, Anna Paparatti is the inspiration behind the entire Dior spring-summer 2022 collection with her sense of style and her powerful oeuvre. Decorating the walls, her work on games – notably through her pieces Il Gioco del Nonsense (The Game of Nonsense, 1964) and Jeu de l’absurde (The Game of the Absurd, 1965) – was the starting point for an exploration into where the playful dimension of games meets the necessary construction of self.

 On a runway in the shape of a huge circular board in vibrant colors – a pop Game of the Goose reinterpreted by the artist – the models move forward on each of the squares in a hypnotic choreography.
