Dior Pre-Fall 2022 Campaign Lensed by Alice Mann with Sofia Steinberg, Maryel Uchida

The overall effect of Dior’s pre-fall 2022 fashion statement channels British pop-punk style, embodying a spirit of defiance and individualism in its embrace of the many ways young women can dress.
Given the sweep of anti-LGBTQIA+ laws and anti-women’s rights laws sweeping through America’s red states, Chiuri delivered a collection that has political roots as well — at least in America.
Like myself, Chiuri used her youthful rebellion against the harsh edges and austerity of a Catholic school uniform — and the perpetual guilt enforced on young women by the Catholic hierarchy — as a foundation for the collection’s visual aesthetic. ~ Anne

Dior's Spring 2022 Ad Campaign and New Bergdorf Goodman Shop Explode with Optimism AOC Fashion
Dior releases its Spring 2022 campaign, with its show-stopping, jewel-like colors and sporty vibe. Marc Bohan’s 1961 ‘Slim Look’ wasn’t the only important heritage reference mined for Maria Grazia Chiuri’s spring 2022 show. Bohan’s Dior Sport line was also center stage.
The Dior design vision represents a 180-degree turn in the road from Dior’s Olympics Grecian goddess resort show. As opposed to enduring the pandemic, Chiuri chose to fight back with bold colored, contagious optimism and the ‘60s global spirit of female liberation.
Seeing the unity of dress among young women from America to Britain, Sudan and Afghanistan — YES, Sudan and Afghanistan — reminds us of the perilous, patriarchal attempts worldwide to deny women their own self-determination. The images from that time period are almost impossible to believe, and they certainly created a horrific backlash against women’s fashion integration into global public spaces, previously occupied by men.
Italian artist Anna Paparatti and the legendary Roman nightclub the Piper Club inspired Chiuri’s design direction, one that pays homage to 1960s pop style with a crayola-colors explosion of boundary-crashing, purposeful ‘60s design.
The Spring 2022 campaign is lensed by Brigitte Niedermair [IG] and is timed with the opening of Dior’s new boutique at Bergdorf Goodman New York. References to the new Dior Bergdorf shop — see end of post — are lensed by Francis Dzikowski [IG] courtesy of Bergdorf Goodman.
Music for the events is set to the beat of Daft Punk’s ‘Around the World’, with video by Fabien Baron and choreography by Matilda Fleberg.

Dior’s artistic director Maria Grazia Chiuri taps photographer Elizaveta Porodina to shoot its fall 2021 campaign. Chiuri favors female photographers who blur the line between photographic images and paintings.
“Through these graphic metamorphoses a singular, contemporary femininity emerges, more liberated than ever,” the house said in a statement.
Dior’s fall collection is rich in fairytale references and a perfect jumping off point for the Russian-born Porodina who was trained as a clinical psychologist. Her relationship with the camera evolved as a form of personal therapy apart from her clinical practice.

Georgina Grenville Returns to Versace Pre-Fall 2020 as The Matriarch by Robi Rodriguez
Versace convenes at a moneyed mansion on the shores of Lake Cuomo for it’s Pre-Fall 2020 Campaign ‘The Versace House Party’. Model Georgina Grenville plays The Matriarch in the short film. Grenville, who has returned to modeling, starred in Versace’s Fall-Winter 2000 campaign.
Away on business for a few days, The Matriarch’s two rebellious daughters party on and on and on. Days past. The only level of consciousness in the house is the dog, who knows exactly what time it is when the clock strikes noon with The Matriarch en route. Chaos reigns in urgent cleanup. Except for a few House Party balloons in the chandeliers and gold jewelry on the dogs, the enterprising daughters almost pulled it off.
The cast also includes Sofia Steinberg, Cynthia Arrebola, Anita Pozzo, Islam Dulatov, and Ismael Savane. Jacob K styles the shoot with images by Reto Schmid.
