Dior designer Maria Grazia Chiuri looked beyond Baker's stage style, also considering her love of suits, as well as more intimate garments.
PARIS, France – Dior designer Maria Grazia Chiuri paid homage to Josephine Baker with her spring haute couture show on Monday, January 23, sending out a dazzling lineup featuring golden jaquards, crushed velvet and beaded fringes that swayed and sparkled down the runway.
The designer looked beyond Baker’s stage style, also considering her love of suits and the uniforms she wore as a member of the resistance in France during the Second World War, as well as more intimate garments, including body-enveloping robes worn after a performance. Artwork by Mickalene Thomas lined the set, larger-than-life portraits of Black women, including Donyale Luna, Eartha Kitt, and Naomi Sims who built on the path opened up by Baker, said Thomas.
