“The decoration was beyond amazing, you never see that kind of thing”said model and author Maye Musk after the show. “The show was so beautiful and it was full of looks that you can actually wear, which is really ready-to-wear. I liked how they mixed the textures and the different patterns they used. The fashion was inspired by the ’50s, and I think I’m the only one here who knows the ’50s. I made my own clothes in those days to be trendy, so it was a blast from the past.”
The creative director of the house, Maria Grazia Chiuri, paid homage to the iconic maverick women of the 1950s, not only Catherine Dior, but also singers Edith Piaf and Juliette Gréco. “Singular protagonists, each one of them was capable, through their lifestyle, of subverting the feminine stereotypes that were part of the post-war mentality”said the house in the show notes. For Chiuri, these three women are a real version of the Valkyries, the feisty Norse deities who served the god Odin.
