In an industry teeming with conventional narratives, singer-songwriter and actress Nadia Lanfranconi has carved out her own bold and unapologetic path. The Italian-born singer is far more than her radiant beauty and captivating presence—she’s a black sheep turned trailblazer, an artist who swapped predictability for passion, tradition for individuality. Born and raised in the postcard-perfect Lake Como region of Italy, Nadia’s upbringing was as picturesque as the landscape.

Maria Grazia Chiuri’s objective for this Dior spring-summer 2025 ready-to-wear collection is to recapitulate the meaning of the garment, as if each model has been given the chance to speak and reveal the work preceding its own construction.

With this in mind, she has assembled and reinterpreted cuts from the archives, starting with the Amazone dress dreamed up by Christian Dior for autumn-winter 1951-1952, which takes her to this legendary female figure, known for her strength of spirit, a reference point for the notion of an autonomous, courageous femininity. Choreographing archives implies…
