"My fashions are dreams, but they are tamed dreams. From the kingdom of dreams to everyday wear." Mr. Christian Dior said in his autobiography "Dior by Dior" in 1956.
In fact, Dior's fashion is such an existence for women-an all-encompassing dream.
When women wear Dior, it is their most attractive moment.
Earlier this month, Charlize Theron (Charlize Theron) again appeared in Dior's new J'adore Infinissime perfume commercial.
This is her sixteenth year as the spokesperson of Dior's real perfume series. I don't know if everyone is the same as me. Every time I look at it every year, I will be amazed by Theron's beauty again.
What is amazing is that in addition to Theron’s 16-year-old beauty and figure, she is also beautiful, sexy, but at the same time elegant and charming. This unique temperament also makes her the best representative of Dior women.
What many people don't know is that even though they are shooting perfume series advertisements, in these blockbusters, the charming temperament of Theron is also tailored for her by Dior.
Take the 2016 advertising campaign shot by Jean-Baptiste Mondino for Dior's fragrance. Theron is wearing a dress tailored by the brand's Gaoding Workshop.
This asymmetrical dress is made of heavy silk muslin, with a unique concave open back design. There are more than 20,000 round beads and sequins on the entire skirt, all of which are hand-stitched, 250,000 The dazzling rhinestones were evenly distributed throughout the skirt, and it took more than two hundred hours to complete.
It is precisely because every moment she wears Dior, she exudes infinite charm. So in the past many years, Dior has become one of Theron's most selected brands on the red carpet.
At the 92nd Oscars ceremony earlier this year, Theron appeared in two Dior gowns. One is a black silk dress, with asymmetrical shoulder design and wide slit hem, which outlines her graceful figure.
The other is the golden color that suits her best. From Dior's 2020 spring and summer haute couture series, the metallic tassel design is retro and charming.
In the entire award season, these are not the only two Dior styles of Theron. At the 77th Golden Globe Awards not long ago, Theron also chose Dior. This overhanging green dress is made of silk crepe fabric, top coat and hand-draped details, and it took two hundred hours of craftsmanship to complete it.
However, what impressed me the most was not the high-definition styles of Theron, but the Dior ready-to-wear look after Theron's own creative transformation on the red carpet of this year's Palm Springs International Film Festival.
In this look, she suggested that the stylist match the mesh shirt with the original suit skirt as an inner wear. The whole look is retro and fashionable, making people unable to move their eyes.
At the beginning of this year, Leslie Fremar, the stylist with whom Theron has worked for many years, mentioned in an interview with the American version of VOGUE the reasons for their long-term cooperation with Dior.
Fremar appreciates the ease of wearing clothes designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri. "Chiuri's clothes are so good to wear," Fremar said. "If you walk into a Dior store, you will want to buy everything. There are t-shirts and well-tailored coats. These are what Theron likes to wear every day. Things on the body, and these clothes only need to be embellished with makeup and hair styles, and they can go beyond the everyday and become the clothes for more grand occasions."
"They really care and understand what suits her (Theron)."
Why Dior's fashion can always show the most attractive side of women?
Our boss, editor-in-chief Angelica Cheung, Ms. Zhang Yu, wrote in the intro of the August issue of "Vogue Fashion and Beauty": "Dior's seventy years of history also just shows the changes and changes that women have experienced in different eras. Since the start of New Look after the war, Dior fashion has shown many changes and different characteristics under social changes and different designers. What remains unchanged is its elegant and noble DNA."
On the cover of the first issue, Natalia Vodianova is wearing the new style "Bar Jacket" of the spring and summer haute couture series designed by Mr. Dior, who has a history of more than 70 years. Today, more than 70 years later, it is still classic and elegant.

Last night, Dior released the latest 2021 spring and summer ready-to-wear collection at Paris Fashion Week. We may be able to find more answers from this collection.
According to Maria Grazia Chiuri, the creative director of Dior women's clothing, each series of clothes should not only focus on designing clothes that suit the needs of women, but also use the design language of clothes to convey a deep reflection on social changes.
And this is exactly what Christian Dior once mentioned, "reflecting current affairs hotspots with fashion design".
"We have to deal with this collection with more design concepts. We are living in a different way, staying at home with close people more than ever. Our clothes must reflect this new lifestyle "The changes in daily life and the evolution of fashion trends under the epidemic crisis have profoundly affected Chiuri.
Therefore, in this series, we can see that Chiuri put his own thoughts into the tailoring of clothes, using many designs that completely subverted the classics, reinterpreted the Dior silhouette that has been passed down to the present, and gave a new definition of silhouette.
For example, we can see a large number of Japanese-style laces appearing in this series. In fact, this is Chiuri's remodeling of the structure of the Dior suit (Bar Jacket), interpreting the Dior silhouette of the Haute Couture Japan series in autumn and winter of 1957 in a new way.
This design is more comfortable and has more wearing possibilities. On the one hand, it maintains the elegance of the Bar Jacket, but it is a bit gentler than the classic Bar Jacket, and it is more everyday and homely. The same design has also been applied to more colorful fashion.
This season's Dior also showed us one hundred ways to wear white shirts. It is actually Chiuri's design inspiration from Susan Sontag, a female writer who loves simple and neat white shirts.
The classic silhouette shirt presents a new look this time: it can be transformed into a waist top or dress through its shape, echoing Dior's iconic shirt skirt, easily matched with loose striped trousers or shorts; it can also be worn in fluffy and plump down Under the coat.
In terms of material, the design of this season also took into account the factors suitable for home, creating extremely smooth fabrics.
Of course, professional users of gauze skirts must have soft silk long skirts. This season's gauze skirt continues Dior's past gentleness and elegance, mainly in elegant matte blue, dark ocher and light orange tones, combined with exquisite bead embroidery.
It is worth noting that in the design and treatment of the waist of the gauze skirt, some are embellished with pleats, while some are elegant and draped. This is for the designer to show the aesthetic concept and complex exquisiteness of the blend of tradition and the present, which is similar to the style of the entire series.
Looking back at the history of the brand for more than 70 years, you will find that regardless of the designer, what Dior has been doing is classics and remodeling. Once Mr. Dior was like this, so is Chiuri today, and this is what makes this brand The reason for continuing to show femininity.
