“As in all fairy tales, before finding the treasure, on my way I met dragons, witches, magicians and the angel of temperance.” – Maria Grazia Chiuri
At the time of the liberation of women, Niki de Saint Phalle threw herself into a close relationship with art, the world and herself. Like all artists, she was driven by her emotions. And it is this feminine creativity that speaks to Maria Grazia Chiuri.
Extraordinary with the multicolored hearts, the dragons, the tree of love, and the exaggerated and over-the-top masterwork, which become patterns, broken embroideries and mirror mosaics in Maria Grazia Chiuri’s collection and the show scenography.
This collection makes reference to Marc Bohan and his little dresses and jumpsuits, sometimes teamed with full skirts opening at the front. There are also large polka dots, black and white checks, trousers worn with ordinary or safari jackets, and teamed, according to mood, with men ‘s shirts featuring fine stripes or a romantic white: all borrowings from the vocabulary of Marc.
This atmosphere lead us into the shameless excitation of the Sixties and illustrative of the changing forces of these female universes. They change not only fashion, but the contemporary world, too.
