Join us as we explore the groundbreaking nine-year tenure of Maria Grazia Chiuri at Christian Dior. As the first female creative director, Chiuri profoundly impacted the iconic French brand, infusing it with feminist messaging and challenging traditional notions of femininity and power in fashion.

Discover her bold statements, from the viral "We Should All Be Feminists" T-shirt – a quote from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie – that she fought to include and sell, to her extensive collaborations with female artists.

We examine how Chiuri used her position to provide visibility and space for female artists.

We also discuss her recent departure, marked by her final cruise show in Rome, which felt like a "beautiful confusion" and an "elegiac swan song", and the speculation surrounding Jonathan Anderson as her likely successor.
