Wind moves through the open field with purpose, tugging at hems and hair as Tinka Carleton-Smith and Fu Zhuocheng stride through the tall grass. In this place where earth meets sky, Christian Dior feels both grounded and ascendant – a House shaped by history, yet always reaching for what comes next.
Since 1947, when Monsieur Dior introduced his transformative New Look, his vision has radiated through time: structured waists, sculpted jackets, and the belief that clothing can shift the way a woman moves through the world. And for the pages of our November UNITY! issue, one of the final collections from Maria Grazia Chiuri carries that spirit forward with conviction, weaving heritage into the rhythms of modern life.
Photographed by Michael Brunt, the collection breathes differently in the open air. Dresses catch the sun and flare like signals; tailored jackets assert their form against the vast horizon; bras, briefs and layered silhouettes reveal the interplay between strength and sensuality. Rachael Fair’s styling leans into contrast – precision against wildness, craft amid the raw expanse – while Masayoshi Fujita’s hair and Isabella Schimid’s makeup amplify the models’ presence, anchoring them firmly within the landscape.
Among these looks, Dior’s icons take on new meaning. The Lady Dior bag, born in 1995 and long cherished as a symbol of the House’s craftsmanship, appears almost jewel-like against the field. Its Cannage stitching and signature charms echo a lineage shaped by artistry and devotion. The Dior Voyage bag, carried by Fu, feels made for a scene like this – a piece designed for movement, transition, and the unfolding of new paths.
