Chiuri’s latest couture outing follows Dior’s landmark pre-fall show indoor hanging that filled the Gateway of India, and continues her ongoing mission to highlight the significance of Indian craftsmanship at a historic French luxury brand. While many European houses have quietly relied on specialized embroidery work by Indian artisans, Chiuri is unique in celebrating these longstanding partnerships at couture and beyond.
In all, creating a Dior couture set takes about six months from ideation to house lights up. To complement Chiuri’s elegant fall silhouettes such as tunics, maxi dresses, and jackets structured by folds beneath the chest to evoke classical statuary, Roberti drew densely layered images combining female deities from ancient and modern cultures.
To preserve the feeling of transparency in Roberti’s works, the Chanakya artisans used a mix of fragile needlework techniques including honeycomb, stem, and feather stitches, and combined lurex and raw silk thread in regal shades of white, beige, silver, and pale gold. In all it took 360 artisans 480,000 hours to complete the nine finished panels, the largest of which measures 26 yards by 5 yards.
