This season, Maria Grazia Chiuri delivered 85 looks building on her signature aesthetic, in addition to a lot of buzzworthy signs

Two days ago, Dior presented its Fall 2020 collection&nbsp;at the Jardin Des Tuileries, and succeeded in getting&nbsp;the fashion world talking with a politically charged first major show of Paris Fashion Week. Keeping in step with collections of the past (most recently, <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/dior-haute-couture-spring-2020-asks-a-major-question">Haute Couture Spring 2020</a>), creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri made an effort to use her show as a platform to propose discussions larger than just fashion.

In collaboration with the Claire Fontaine collective, Grazia Chiuri created a venue that was all but timid about addressing feminism from her distinct lens. Taking directly from an upcoming exhibition at Rome&#39;s&nbsp;National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, one prominent quote on a wall&nbsp;read&nbsp;&quot;I Say I,&quot;&nbsp;taken from the title of the upcoming exhibition &quot;lo Dico lo &ndash; I Say I&quot;.&nbsp;Conceptual indeed. But what did&nbsp;it all mean? Grazia Chiuri explained in the accompanying notes&nbsp;that the show was a result of her gathering inspiration from a plethora of places: images of old couture clients, her own rebellious spirit,&nbsp;Germana Marucelli&rsquo;s studio in Milan by artist Paolo Schegg, and a medley of other sources.&nbsp;

Translating all of her various inspirations, Grazia Chiuri delivered&nbsp;85 coherent looks for&nbsp;the upcoming season. Aiming to strike what she called a &quot;perfect balance,&quot; the designer also referenced&nbsp;founding couturier Christian Dior&#39;s book The Little Dictionary of Fashion to implement what she considered to be staple elements to the collection. Explorations of a vintage polka dot pattern, classic black and white looks, knitwear, and fringe all completed the melting pot of looks. Other recurring elements included lots&nbsp;of&nbsp;plaids and checked patterns (<a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/dior-fall-winter-2019-collection-paris-fashion-week">a Fall 2019&nbsp;trend</a>), various suiting options, and Dior&#39;s&nbsp;by now well-known staple, a graphic tee that drove&nbsp;home the larger messaging surrounding the show (this time, it read&nbsp;&quot;I Say I&quot;). Notable accessories included headscarves and newsboy caps crowning&nbsp;almost every look, fishnet socks, neckties, and signature logo belts and handbags.

While many of the collection details revisited&nbsp;what show attendees have come to expect from the design house in its current era, one can definitely admire the consistency&nbsp;and commitment given to storytelling that is near to Grazia Chiuri&#39;s heart. Regardless of what issues are at the centre of fashion in future seasons, we can all be assured&nbsp;when it comes to fostering the conversations around feminism and highlighting female artists, Grazia Chiuri won&#39;t be stopping anytime soon.
