Celebrating fashion as an essential means of asserting oneself and expressing all facets of femininity more than ever, Maria Grazia Chiuri has thought up a powerfully bewitching wardrobe that dares to unite opposites, fusing refinement and simplicity in a plural singularity. Inhabited by this ingenious freedom, the silhouettes conceived by the Creative Director are revealed through choreographed tableaus captured by the famous American photographer Tina Barney. At the convergence of past and present, between candor and irresistible subversion, the models evolve at the heart of different spaces – so many “rooms of one’s own” – in a timeless setting shrouded in mystery. From shadow to light, the looks recount this emancipation: fabric, “the only vehicle for dreams”, as Monsieur Dior referred to it, is aglow with magic, combining imagination and reinvention(s).

Born in the province of Hagonoy, Bulacan, April recalls her childhood as happy, delightful, and carefree. Growing up with a loving family of parents, grandparents, siblings, and cousins, her youthful years in the countryside evoke a strong sense of nostalgia, prevailing as one of the primary inspirations in creating her abstract works. She remembers roleplaying as a teacher to her cousins and siblings: showing them how to draw flowers, houses, or mountains. April’s father was a businessman while her mother was a teacher, and she was often dropped off at the grandparents’ home during their work days. “My grandparents, uncle, and I were the only ones at the house, so I had no choice but to play all by myself. Sometimes I make drawings and paper crafts,” says Lopez. During…
