This season, the Maison travelled back in time to 1968. 

1968: a year of global transformation driven by a restless young generation with a desire for a better world. It was a year of new rules, new ideas and a new definition of fashion. Former Vogue US editor-in-chief, Diana Vreeland, put it best when she coined the term &ldquo;Youthquake&rdquo;.

It is this very year that, 50 years later, has struck a chord with Dior Artistic Director Maria Grazia Chiuri. Her Autumn/Winter 2018-2019 collection is a reflection of those times, which in turn mirrors our own.

The clothes &mdash; like the women they are inspired by &mdash; speak&nbsp;for themselves. There was the opening look of a embroidered knit sweater that declared, &ldquo;Non!&rdquo;; another was boldly emblazoned with the peace symbol.

Recalling the individualistic style&nbsp;of the French youth in the late &#39;60s, the collection was filled with kilts of different lengths and materials, paired with leather and shearling jackets for a masculine edge.

However, Chiuri&#39;s&nbsp;message of authenticity&nbsp;was perhaps&nbsp;best expressed through the abundance of gorgeous patchworks, each composed of fabrics drawn from a single heritage.

It&nbsp;didn&#39;t just end with the clothes. The runway, too, echoed the revolutionary spirit of Chiuri&#39;s&nbsp;collection. Set within an installation at the gardens of the Mus&eacute;e Rodin, the space was transformed over a span of three weeks with a team of 150 people&nbsp;to feature vintage protest posters and call-to-action slogans.&nbsp;Despite most of these&nbsp;being dated in 1968, they hardly looked out of place with the world&#39;s current political climate &mdash; which was Chiuri&#39;s point exactly.
