Luxury house DIOR unveiled its Spring Summer 2023 The Craft Of Thought Couture Collection, that was inspired by the African-American singer and dancer Josephine Baker, presented on January 23rd, during the ongoing Paris Fashion Week. Baker, who left the United States in the mid 1920s and moved to Paris, embodies the modernity of those years, she was a dancer, entertainer, member of the French Resistance, civil rights activist for the African-Americans, humanist and universal benefactress. The collection reimagines 1950s style in a contemporary way. A unique set design is work of African-American artist Mickalene Thomas. The show celebrates black and mixed-race women who have become exemplary by choosing to think and act differently. Giant portraits of a series of exceptional public figures, that are elaborated with embroidery conceived by the Chanakya ateliers and Chanakya School of Craft on a printed textile base, take over the show’s setting. Stars of the portraits are Josephine Baker, Diahann Carroll, Dorothy Dandridge, Marpessa Dawn, Ophelia DeVore, Lena Horne, Eartha Kitt, Donyale Luna, Josephine Premice, Hazel Scott, Nina Simone, Naomi Sims, and Helen Williams.

COUTURE COLLECTIONS

“The clothes glide over the body and caress it. In silk, in velvet, often with a creased effect, a syncopated rhythm, breathing vitality into the fabric. The embroidery is delicate. Tiny silver studs and sequins occupy the space and absorb the runway lights to reflect them onto the audience. Fringes in shades of silver and gold accompany and magnify the choreography of the movements sketched by the body. The suits and coats pay tribute to the masculine fabrics dear to Monsieur Dior. The length, always above the ankle, reveals shoes with heels and imposing soles.” – from Dior

These women have broken many barriers in television, film, fashion and social activism. It is because of their determination and sacrifices that I am able to make this work and be the artist I am today – Mickalene Thomas
