Comment redonner à Dior sa part de rêve, sa flamboyance ? À la fin des années 80, Bernard Arnault cherche un nouveau cador pour raviver le mythe Dior. Il choisit contre toute attente Gianfranco Ferré, un grand créateur italien au style exubérant. Et Dior redevient fantasque et baroque !

Les années 60 sont des années d’émancipation. Les jupes s'évasent, raccourcissent… et le pantalon devient symbole d'un nouvel état d'esprit. Le prêt-à-porter donne la mesure, et naît « Miss Dior » (la première ligne prêt-à-porter de la maison de couture). Les temps changent, Marc Bohan dessine au présent mais pour combien de temps ?

Le 24 octobre 1957, Christian Dior s'éteint. Yves Saint-Laurent, son protégé, devient son héritier. Il prend la relève du « Bureau des Rêveries », le Studio, au 30 avenue Montaigne. Les lignes architecturales s'effacent au profit d'un style simple, naturel et souple… qui annonce la mode des années 60.

Christian Dior a maintenant 20 ans. Le jour, il suit ses cours de sciences politiques. La nuit, il vibre au rythme des années folles, dans les cabarets et autres lieux de fête, où il fait des rencontres extraordinaires et décisives. Les artistes qu'il côtoie le fascinent, piquent sa curiosité et deviennent ses amis proches. Décidément, pourquoi s'ennuyer en Politique alors que c'est dans le monde de l'art que Christian semble trouver sa place ?

1931 : la crise économique venue des Etats-Unis déferle violemment sur la France. Le clan Dior affronte un revers de fortune et un terrible drame. Mais Christian se révèle fort et lucide face à l'adversité. Ses amis font preuve d'une belle générosité et l'accompagnent alors qu'il se retrouve sans le sou et qu'il tombe gravement malade. Destination Font-Romeu ! Puis Majorque où le soleil, les paysages, les couleurs stimulent ses sens et réveillent sa créativité.

12 février 1947, jour du premier défilé de la jeune Maison Dior. Christian n'a qu'une idée en tête : faire renaître la haute-couture parisienne qui a perdu de son éclat sous l'occupation. Le défi est de taille mais cette première collection saura convaincre les journalistes, les acheteurs et les clients qui ont fait le déplacement. Avec son nouveau look, Christian Dior est sacré grand couturier et entre enfin dans l’histoire.

En 2016 – 70 ans après la création de la Maison –, la créatrice italienne Maria Grazia Chiuri devient la première femme nommée à la tête des collections féminines de Dior….Inspirée, moderne, efficace, elle est appelée pour faire rejaillir les femmes-fleurs chère à Christian Dior, plus décontractées mais toujours aussi raffinées. Le rêve se mue en désir, la féminité en un élan féministe.

On a cold, cloudy day in Paris, in the shadow of the Colonne Vendôme, Valentino’s creative director Alessandro Michele prepares for his first haute couture show for the iconic Italian fashion house. “It’s a beginning… like every beginning, it’s beautiful but also stressful.” As he looks over his collection, Michele reflects on his approach to beauty in contrast to the legendary Valentino Garavani’s. In the atelier, skilled artisans meticulously sew and stitch, their hands moving with practiced precision as they transform delicate fabrics into intricate masterpieces. Michele’s stunning couture collection includes a sculptural floral dress—equal parts 1950s tapestry and the makings of an adventurous child with scissors and an outdated carpet.

In episode 3, renowned fashion designer David Tlale joins us for a conversation on creativity, legacy, and staying true to your vision.

South African fashion designer David Tlale is making waves in the fashion industry by championing a bold vision: to revolutionise the African fashion scene and revive the local clothing and textile industry.

In Episode 3 of the popular podcast Threads & Thoughts, Tlale shares his inspiring perspective on why it’s time to shift the global mindset and recognise South African fashion for its quality, creativity, and cultural significance.

Fashion as a Platform for Revolution and Economic Growth

David Tlale emphasises that African fashion, especially that which is made in South Africa, deserves more than just admiration on the red carpet. It is a powerful platform that can drive economic development by breathing new life into the clothing and textile sectors. According to Tlale, this transformation requires a change in mentality — appreciating local fashion not only for its aesthetic but for the hard work, innovation, and daily dedication behind it.

Changing the Narrative Around African Fashion Tlale’s message goes beyond style and glamour. He calls for a deeper appreciation of African designers who are committed to excellence and craftsmanship. This shift in perception can help build a sustainable future for the industry, one where local talent is nurtured and celebrated globally. By supporting South African fashion, consumers and industry stakeholders can contribute to a cultural legacy that empowers communities and fosters economic independence.

BACK TO THE FUTURE

Schiaparelli presents BACK TO THE FUTURE, the Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025-2026 Show by Daniel Roseberry, July 7th, 10am.
Le Petit Palais, Paris, France.

About Schiaparelli
With her wild imagination and revolutionary approach to fashion, Elsa Schiaparelli instilled a unique creative spirit to 20th-century design. Turning ordinary objects into some of the most memorable creations, Schiaparelli expressed her creative talents through fashion, fragrance, and what we refer to today as “merchandising”, blurring the boundaries between creative brilliance and commercial success, and developing an innovative business model that is still used by most major fashion houses today.
Elsa Schiaparelli’s iconic collaborations with artists like Dalí, Cocteau, Man Ray, Jean-Michel Franck, and Giacometti, among others, became legendary. Her legacy has consistently contributed to mainstream culture throughout the decades and continues to inspire people across creative industries and continents. A true artist herself, Schiaparelli is the creative force behind some of fashion’s most revolutionary shapes, techniques, and colors, redefining new standards of style and what beauty means. In 2019, the house of Schiaparelli appointed American-born designer Daniel Roseberry as Creative Director, based in the iconic Salons Schiaparelli at 21 Place Vendôme, Elsa’s home and atelier.
