In front of an audience including Jennifer Lawrence and Cara Delevingne, the new Dior slogan tees were born. Like her very first collection for the brand, Maria Grazia Chiuri sent one of these tops out as part of the very first look, emblazoned with the words ‘Sisterhood is Global’ and tucked in to a full, ‘50s skirt. The name of activist Robin Morgan’s classic feminist anthology – comprised of essays written by women across 80 different countries – these words formed the basis of Chiuri’s message, one which intensified her emphasis on female equality.
There were yet more Saddle Bags, more logo belts and more contemporary riffs on the classic Dior silhouette. Inspired by the Teddy Girls of the 1950s, there were veiled bucket hats worn with pearls, which concealed very graphic eye make-up (bottom lashes were painted on to models’ faces) created by Peter Philips, Dior Beauty’s creative and image director. There was a very chic take on the anorak in the form of checked waterproof jackets printed with Dior on the front. And there were pretty, pointed flats worn with semi-sheer ankle socks.
Sitting FROW-side, Cara Delevingne was pretty in pink next to Karlie Kloss and Jennifer Lawrence, who sent the paparazzi into a frenzy as she showed off her new engagement ring. While Chiuri has remained true to many of Dior’s classic signatures, reinventing them for her modern audience, it’s the elevated spin she has put on everyday items that is particularly interesting. The T-shirts from her first collections, which stated ‘We Should All Be Feminists’ were a sell-out success, suggesting that this new iteration will enjoy similar popularity.
While most of Dior’s tees sell for upwards of £500, it’s the sort of cult item a lot of us may want to save up for – particularly as most of the accessories exceed £1,000, placing the T-shirts on the more affordable end of the luxury scale. If you can’t quite wait until the new tees are available, see below for the slogan tops you can buy right now.
