Are you invited to the Dior show?” asks the fashion designer. “So, what’s the news on the Dior show?” murmurs a fashion stylist. “Are you going?” reads another text from a fashion editor / serial frow-er, chased by: “I am hoping I will be invited, let’s see.” “How does one score a ticket to the show?” inquires a fashion influencer. “I hope it does not rain [literally] on their parade,” rued one fashion observer, while the other cautions: “Have they factored in the pigeon menace?” Indian fashion’s macro and mini stakeholders have set off on a text frenzy hoping to have their own Cinderella-going-to-the-ball moment at next week’s Christian Dior show at the Gateway of India.
There had been murmurs about the show coming to India ever since Dior collaborated with Mumbai’s Chanakya School of Craft on their haute couture show in January 2022. The exchange of ideas was seen in the vast embroideries of scenography comprising a retrospective work of Madhvi and Manu Parekh, rendered in age-old techniques like the cross stitch and its variations; different forms of couching; the French stitch as well as a range of satin stitches produced by hand at the Byculla-based craft foundation and non-profit school. Dior’s creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri said in an Instagram post: It was through this relationship with Chanakya that I was able to learn so much about the artisanal embroidery techniques, which are still found in each and every Indian region, and the unique ability of the Chanakya Atelier to put them in dialogue with the fashion industry.
