Maria Grazia Chiuri Interprets Tarot for Dior SS21 Couture

Maria Grazia Chiuri tried her hand at tarot reading for Christian Dior's Spring/Summer 2021 Haute Couture collection, an opulent range that pays homage to Monsieur Dior's fascination with the divinatory arts.

Grazia Chiuri translates the visual language of a deck of tarot cards, applying illustrations of the zodiac signs to richly embroidered coats and gilded gowns. The Death card is embodied by a silvery, sheer frock paired with a matching floor-length cape while The Moon is expressed as a rose gold, empire waist dress with a Watteau train. The Fool is dressed in a voluminous tulle mini-dress adorned with simple shapes and The High Priestess wears a jacquard coat with a deep red interior. Dior's classic Bar jacket is rendered in black velvet and paired with sleek trousers, a more masculine silhouette that offsets the femininity of the house's historic New Look, appearing in the form of cinched, belted waistlines and flared skirts.
