Maria Grazia Chiuri, Dior's First Female Creative Director, Is Leaving

(Photo by FRANCOIS GUILLOT / AFP) (Photo by FRANCOIS GUILLOT/AFP via Getty Images) Many years from now, Maria Grazia Chiuri's departure may be remembered as the worst-kept secret in fashion. While that may be true, it would be a shame to be so reductive about the Italian fashion designer's time at the storied French Maison, which was founded in 1946 by Monsieur Christian Dior and officially launched in 1947 with the post-war launch of the New Look. Chiuri joined the brand from Valentino, where she worked with work partner Pier Paolo Piccioli in 2016 by replacing Raf Simons' 3 ½ year tenure there. Beyond the soaring profits, the designer brought to the brand a feminine and feminist POV, an active engagement with fine art and Italian culture. Her last show concluded Tuesday in Rome, where she staged a Cinicittà-worthy production to showcase her collection for Cruise 2026 that combined RTW and Haute Couture styles. While not officially confirmed, fashion's second worst-kept secret is that Chiuri will be replaced by JW Anderson, who has departed Loewe and was named Dior's menswear in April. PARIS, FRANCE - JUNE 24: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY - For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from ...

(Photo by) In a statement to the press, Delphine Arnault, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Christian Dior Couture, expressed gratitude to the designer. "I extend my warmest thanks to Maria Grazia Chiuri, who, since her arrival at Dior, has accomplished tremendous work with an inspiring feminist perspective and exceptional creativity, all imbued with the spirit of Monsieur Dior, which allowed her to design highly desirable collections. She has written a key chapter in the history of Christian Dior, greatly contributing to its remarkable growth and being the first woman to lead the creation of women's collections." Chiuri also provided a statement in the release. "After nine years, I am leaving Dior, delighted to have been given this extraordinary opportunity. I would like to thank Monsieur Arnault for placing his trust in me and Delphine for her support. I am particularly grateful for the work accomplished by my teams and the Ateliers. Their talent and expertise allowed me to realize 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." A model presents a creation for Dior during the Women's Spring-Summer 2020/2021 Haute Couture ... More collection fashion show in Paris, on January 20, 2020. American artist and feminist pioneer Judy Chicago, at 80, has pulled off the coup of her career by planting a massive temple to the mother goddess that hosted on January 20, 2020 Dior's haute couture fashion show. (Photo by FRANCOIS GUILLOT / AFP) (Photo by FRANCOIS GUILLOT/AFP via Getty Images) Undoubtedly, Chiuri addressed several female perspectives during her time at the brand. To name a few, in the Fall 2018 RTW show, she splattered a wall of the show space in Sixties-era female power graffiti in a nod to the 50th anniversary French protests in which women's rights attached themselves to the larger economic and politically motivated civil unrest; in she debuted "we should all be feminists" T-shirts. In another collection for Autumn Winter 2024, the designer referenced the 1967 diffusion line Miss Dior, imagined by Marc Bohan's assistant Phillippe Guibourgé, which struck a note in the mood of France while experiencing its second wave of feminism, primarily credited to Simone de Beauvoir's 1949 The Second Sex tome. In the Spring Summer 2020 collection, Chiuri partnered with feminist art heroine Judy Chicago, who worked with the apprentices of the Chanakya school workshop, with questions such as "What if women ruled the world?" as a female empowerment message. On a side note, she also reintroduced the strength of the brand's famous bar jacket. A model presents a creation for Dior during the 2021 Dior Croisiere (Cruise) fashion show on July ...

(Photo by Filippo MONTEFORTE / AFP) (Photo by FILIPPO MONTEFORTE/AFP via Getty Images) Chicago's work is an example of the overlapping theme of feminism and art. Both played a significant role in the work. In a show at the Brooklyn Museum last year, she enlisted art duo Claire Fontaine, the Palermo-based feminist-centric artists Fulvia Carnevale and James Thornhill, who also designed the Fall/Winter 2020 show space, and highlighted the work of Roman-based, Brooklyn-born artist Suzanne Santoro whose work was on display. The show managed to channel its Parisian Je Ne Sais Quoi via New York's gritty artistic edge, using Marlene Dietrich as a muse and employing each city's famous monuments as prints. The Parisian artist Eva Jospin devised the Chambre de Soie in a nod to the embroidery room of the Palazzo Colonna in Rome, which also referenced Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own in the Haute Couture show in January 2021. Marinella Senatore doused a room with political protest slogans, a la the artwork of Jenny Holzer for a Cruise 2021 show. Italian artisans and culture have also been celebrated. A Puglia-style carnival theme was created for a live-streamed show during the pandemic to honor the artisans who had worked on the collection. A somber, limited-attendance, socially-distance in late 2020 fashion show featured works from Italian artist Lucia Marcucci. This provided the backdrop for an acapella/operatic singing troupe, Sequenza 93, who performed "Sangu di rosa," a choral work by Lucia Ronchetti based on 19th-century Sardinian Voceri that combines classical music with funeral services epithets.

The Cruise 2018 collection, which featured Mexican "escaramuzas" on horseback, struck a nerve with guest Paris Jackson, who couldn't stomach the visibly disturbed horses performing to loud music amid a thunderstorm. Still, it had the cinematic drama and storytelling prevalent at Chiuri's last show in Rome this week. She has bought a theater that she restored, where she will most likely dream up more beautiful fantasies as she did at Dior. Grazie mille, Maria Grazia.

The new surprising fashion trend sweeping social media in 2025: Fisherman core is coming to Australia
A surprising and unique trend is sweeping social media and the fashion world: Fisherman core. And it's officially arriving in Australia, with the latest UNIQLO and JW Anderson collection, launching Thursday, June 12. Blending comfort, style, and a dose of coastal nostalgia, the fisherman aesthetic takes its cues from traditional seafarer uniforms and old-school maritime style. Think chunky cable-knit jumpers, utilitarian trousers, durable outerwear, and classic Breton stripes. Rooted in practicality but elevated with a preppy-modern twist, it's a look that speaks to both form and function — perfectly suited to Australian winter. Mark the drop date in your calendars and get ready to shop up a storm once it arrives on Aussie shores. British designer Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of JW Anderson, has backed the trend wholeheartedly. His upcoming capsule collection with UNIQLO, titled 'Elements of Land and Sea ', embodies the movement with refined detailing, layered textures, and a nod to rugged coastal dressing. The collaboration has been timed perfectly to bring the Northern Hemisphere's Spring/Summer 2025 buzz to the Southern Hemisphere's cooler months. The style has also been gaining serious traction online; on TikTok, fashion creators started forecasting the rise of the fisherman aesthetic late last year. Now, Aussie shoppers can bring the look home with UNIQLO's new drop, which merges JW Anderson's elevated British style with UNIQLO's signature everyday wearability. Some of the standout pieces from the collection include the JW Anderson Diamond Stitched Crew Neck Sweater, $59.90, a perfect staple for layering, and the Wool Blend Duffle Coat $249.90, offering classic maritime tailoring with modern touches. For those embracing a more feminine silhouette, the Wool Blend Wrap Skirt, $79.90 brings a practical yet polished look, while the HEATTECH Beanie $19.90 keeps things warm and effortlessly on-trend. From UNIQLO's core range, essentials like the AIRism Cotton Long Sleeve T-Shirt, $29.90 and the Cable Crew Neck Short Sleeve Sweater, $49.90 make perfect layering pieces to build your fisherman-inspired wardrobe. The fisherman aesthetic is set to be a defining look of the season. Thanks to UNIQLO and JW Anderson, bringing the coastal charm to the city streets has never been easier — nor more fashionable.

Rihanna Puts a Bow on Maternity Dressing
If you think that, after two fashion-filled pregnancies, Rihanna would run out of road, you'd be sorely mistaken. Last night, Rih issued another reminder that she is a Fashion Girl to a tee. After a few days of traipsing around Cannes, the singer and Fenty mogul returned Stateside where she immediately flocked to her favorite Santa Monica restaurant-turned-runway: Giorgio Baldi. For her solo dinner, Rihanna quite literally put a bow on maternity dressing in a gray sleeveless JW Anderson dress with a thigh-high slit and an oversized bow accent, placed atop her baby bump. But her Jonathan Anderson maxi was far from the end of the fashion parade—she accessorized with a pair of rose gold satin Margiela Tabis, and carried a Dior Saddlebag over her shoulder. Photo: Backgrid Since she revealed her third pregnancy in a bump-defining Marc Jacobs suit at the 2025 Met Gala, Rihanna's style is defined by body conscious silhouettes. At the Cannes Film Festival premiere of her partner A$AP Rocky's film Highest 2 Lowest, she wore a bright blue Alaïa dress that showed off slivers of her baby belly. Even for a stroll around the French seaside town, Rih donned a form-fitting ribbed black Khaite dress with a swishy fringe detail. Can you say mother?
