What’s one fashion pop culture moment that lives in your head rent-free? I’ll go first. Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw, and one iconic dress. You guessed it, I’m talking about John Galliano’s Fall 2000 newsprint dress.

A Step Back in Time for Pre-Fall 2024
Dior Pre-Fall 2024 is an incredible ode to Dior’s storied roots, and Maria Grazia Chiuri has done a stunning job at reinventing some of the House’s most historic codes. The collection pays homage to the past created with the future in mind.
Ready-to-wear pieces explore the brand’s Parisian roots and its humble beginnings in the United States. It was Mr. Dior who first Tri the Maison to New York, creating special collections just for American women, who were beginning to dress more casually.
From beautifully tailored pieces to drapey, feminine dresses, embellishments, and more, Maria Grazia Chiuri took inspiration in part from actress Marlene Dietrich, who was a client of Christian Dior’s. Both the clothing and the bags utilize a special print showcasing Parisian and New York landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty, both places integral to the Maison as we know it today.
