Dior’s Spring 2023 Haute Couture collection is inspired by Josephine Baker

Dior unveiled its latest haute couture collection by Maria Graziai Chiuriinspired by Josephine Baker.

Through a mostly black and white color palette—save for some silver and muted green—the Spring 2023 line highlights the house’s atelier’s craftsmanship through construction: blazers with sharp shoulder pads, corseted dresses, cinched overcoats. As always, Chiuri imbues the collection with touches of femininity, expressed through floral appliqués on a sheer top, puffed sleeves on a dainty cardigan and playful tassels swinging at the bottom of a full skirt.
