Maria Grazia Chiuri Exits Dior After Nine Years
Maria Grazia Chiuri walks the runway during the Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall Winter 2022 2023 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on July 04, 2022 in Paris, France. (Photo by Stephane Cardinale – Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images) Maria Grazia Chiuri, the first woman to ever lead Dior's women's collections, is exiting the French house after nearly a decade at the helm. Appointed in 2016, Chiuri brought with her a resolutely feminist vision that reverberated through every runway, beginning with her Spring/Summer 2017 debut, where models wore slogan tees emblazoned with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's now-famous line: 'We should all be feminists.' 'Christian Dior Couture announces that Maria Grazia Chiuri has decided to leave her position as Creative Director of women's haute couture, ready-to-wear and accessories collections,' read a statement from the Maison. 'The House of Dior wishes to express today its deepest gratitude to Maria Grazia Chiuri after a wonderful collaboration as Creative Director of women's collections since 2016.' Chiuri's time at Dior was prolific. Across couture, ready-to-wear and accessories, Chiuri reframed femininity not as a trending aesthetic but as a dialogue, collaborating with and honouring artists like Judy Chicago, Elena Bellantoni, and Faith Ringgold, and consistently spotlighting female artisans in Mumbai. Under her creative leadership, the house saw commercial and creative growth, with sales soaring from €2.2 billion to a peak of €9.5 billion in 2023.

(Photo by Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images) Delphine Arnault, Dior's Chairman and CEO, praised Chiuri for her 'inspiring feminist perspective and exceptional creativity,' noting that she 'greatly contributed to [Dior's] remarkable growth.' Chiuri, for her part, thanked the ateliers and the women artists who helped realise her vision. 'I am particularly grateful for the work accomplished by my teams and the Ateliers,' she wrote. 'Their talent and expertise allowed me to realise my vision of committed women's fashion, in close dialogue with several generations of female artists. Together, we have written an impactful chapter of which I am immensely proud.' From resurrecting the Saddle Bag to reinterpreting Marc Bohan's Miss Dior line, Chiuri saw herself as a curator of Dior's expansive legacy—not just of its founder, but of the visionaries who followed. As the house enters a new era—Jonathan Anderson now leading Dior Men, and senior leadership recalibrations still yet to be confirmed—speculation swirls about her successor. In an emotional farewell to the House, Chiuri presented her final collection, Cruise 2026, in her hometown of Rome this week.

At Dior Cruise 2026 in Rome, Peter Philips Gave Models a Hauntingly Beautiful Pearlescent Glow
Courtesy of Dior In the breathtaking gardens of the Villa Albani Torlonia on May 27, fashion's finest gathered to watch the Dior Cruise 2026 show after a picture-perfect, blue sky day in Rome. But just as the models hit the catwalk, the skies opened and poured rain, adding a touch of auspicious drama to the moment. Quite fitting, considering Maria Grazia Chiuri's inspiration for the collection was ghosts and the history of cinema in Rome, a veritable love letter to her native city for what turned out to be her final show after nine years. Inside the Beauty Look The beauty look by Peter Philips followed suit. 'This show is an interaction between living personalities and ghosts,' the creative and image director for Christian Dior Makeup says backstage. 'The girls are made up almost in a ghost way, but not in a scary way,' he confides, noting that he wanted to give a preternaturally smooth, luminous finish to skin akin to the marble statues that add a knowing character to the Eternal City To get the 'very pure, quintessentially clean and nude' look, the makeup guru subtly highlighted eyes while playing up a pearlescent complexion. Skin prep was key. First, he smoothed the eye area by popping on the Dior Eye Patches for ten minutes before applying Dior Capture Le Sérum to hyper-moisturize. Tone was evened out with Dior Forever Skin Perfect foundation stick. Getting Their Glow On He then added 'a bit of highlight' to the center of each eye with the champagne shade in the new Diorshow 5 Couleurs compact in 557 Brown Cashemire. A stroke of Diorshow On Stage Crayon in 594 Brown along the roots of lashes provided a touch of definition, just 'a little bit of brown trail.' He says. A dab of Dior Forever Glow Luminizer in 06 Opal Sequin on cheekbones and high points heightened the decidedly buffed luminosity. On lips, Philips chose a slick of Dior Addict Lip Butter in 103 Toffee, since it has 'no pearlescent' quality but simply a sheen to offset the iridescence on skin. A Crown Affair As for the hair at Dior Cruise 2026, Guido Paulo styled braided chignons. 'The shape of the hair is very much like a Roman sculpture,' Philips says. Think 'Roman ladies in toga-style dresses.' The woven updos proved to be the perfect expression of Roman beauty — and perfectly rain-proof when the weather threw a curveball. Time to Party After the show, the rain stopped — perhaps by divine intervention. Guests then floated their way through the gardens to bartenders flowing champagne into cut crystal coups while a string quartet played. The theatrical vibe of the evening continued as fashion's most formidable mingled with celebs and friends of the house including Rachel Brosnahan, Alexandra Daddario, Sarah Catherine Hook, Liza Koshy and Style Not Com's Beka Gvishiani over plates of pasta and braesola with parmesan. The revelry continued well into the night; an ethereal spirit seen through Maria Grazia Chiuri's lens was in the air — a very fitting finale for the Italian design legend who championed feminism and following one's art… with heart.
