Dior Cruise 2023 Collection

For Maria Grazia Chiuri , the Dior cruise 2023 collection is a journey of discovery and reflection. The locations chosen provide a spectacular backdrop for a procession of garments that come together to form a défilé, echoing the history of the House and its desire to seek out original collaborations inspired by their native territories.

The icon of this collection is La Capitana, the name given to Carmen Amaya. With her freedom to dance that did not submit to any rule, she represented the essence of Flamenco. An artist with singular, revolutionary movements, she was the first dancer in her field to dress in men’s clothing, combining power and fragility through her art. Expressing the soul of Spain, she continues to embody a conscious and plural femininity.

From the spring-summer 1956 haute couture Bal à Séville dress – designed by Christian Dior – to the Plaza de España – built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition to embrace the richness of the cultures that have shaped Spain and represent its multitudes – real and metaphorical places abolish borders by rethinking the dress codes that inspire fashion. In this intense atmosphere, depicted in the chiaroscuro of some of Goya’s paintings and through the words of Federico García Lorca, a creative process was born, melding fascination, homage, interpretation and restitution.

Among other references, the looks evoke the Duchess of Alba, a legendary character who rode horses with Jackie Kennedy in a short jacket, high-waisted pants and a wide-brimmed hat worn on an angle. But also, red, black, and mantillas. Elsewhere, the abundance of embroidery that adorns the venerated Madonna della Macarena’s gowns takes on the role of a sacred ritual in a choreography that suspends the body into an iconic image.

The emblematic Manila shawl retells the stories and journeys of the communities that created and wore it. The tale of these nomadic objects is narrated using multiple voices: note the men’s pinstripe suits, the pants worn with suspenders, the silk-lined waistcoats; the white shirts; the Andalusian horsemen’s pants; the short jackets adorned with brandebourg closures; the trimmed boleros that make the silhouette even more slender; the sleeves that can flare out like a cape. Shimmering taffeta – in red, yellow, ochre, black – is sculpted into exuberant skirts that symbolize both Dior and Spain. Carefully considered volumes elevate the contrasts; lace appears in manifold forms; the Bar jacket is reinvented in black velvet embroidered with various gold threads.

This Dior cruise event is thus transformed by Maria Grazia Chiuri into a meeting of emotions and intentions, conveying an idea of fashion that is both of the everyday and of the extraordinary, wherein the creations celebrate the multiplicity of the visions of femininity.

The Profound Reveal of The Dior 2023 Cruise Collection

Christian Dior’s latest 2023 Cruise Collection was uncovered in Seville, Spain, designed by the honorable Maria Grazia Chiuri.

On June 16th, Dior unveiled their latest Dior 2023 Cruise Collection at the infamous Plaza De España in the heart of Seville, Spain. The location was chosen to provide a spectacular backdrop for a procession of garments that come together to form a défilé and provide the space for these creations to honor various expressions of femininity and to  celebrate the long-standing relationship between Dior and Spain which dates back to the early 1950s. 

Dreamt up by Dior’s infamous creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, who was inspired by Andalusian traditions and artisanship made her mission to engulf herself in the historical traditions, crafts, and female icons of this region of southern Spain for months prior to the shows debut. She chose to center the collection around   the legendary flamenco dancer La Capitana, the name given to Carmen Amaya.

To Chiuri, La Capitana represented the essence of Flamenco with her freedom to dance that was unconventional and did not submit to any regulation. An artist with singular, revolutionary movements, she was the first female dancer in her field to wear men’s clothing, symbolizing power and fragility through her art. Paralleling these inspirations, the looks evoke, for example, the Duchess of Alba, a legendary character, horseback riding with Jackie Kennedy.

“She is the symbol for this collection and brings us back to the realities of flamenco with her performing that does not submit to any canons. A revolutionary artist of extraordinary deeds, who through the gesture of dance combines strength and fragility. She is capable of depicting the soul of Spain and interpreting a conscious feminine idea that is feminism,” says Maria Grazia Chiuri

The emblematic Manila shawls, which took three generations of women to produce, tells all the stories and journeys of the communities that created and wore it, allowing for the multiple voices of these nomadic objects to share their truths through the silhouettes. At the intersection of these encounters is an exuberant display of traditional Andalusian savoir-faire.

The fringed and embroidered Manila shawls were made by Maria Jose Sanchez Espinar. The embroidery technique it displays came from China, with the shawls imported to Seville in the seventeenth century. It has become one of the most emblematic Spanish accessories, notably worn by the women painted by Goya and Velázquez. From Seville, it spread to Latin America, demonstrating how artisanship is a global language with the power to connect far-away cultures and places. The atelier has developed a series of traditionally embroidered shawls with quintessential Dior details.

For the 2023 Dior cruise collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri collaborated with Javier Menacho Guisado to reinvent the Dior Saddle bag using special leather embroidery methods.

The hats were created by the Fernandez Y Roche atelier and inspired by images of the Duchess of Alba riding with Jackie Kennedy. Duchess of Alba was also seen in a short jacket, high-waisted pants and a wide-brimmed hat worn on an angle. But also, red, black, and mantillas. Elsewhere, the abundance of embroidery that adorns the venerated Madonna della Macarena’s gowns takes on the role of a sacred ritual in a choreography that suspends the body into an iconic image.

Shimmering taffeta in red, yellow, ochre, and black is sculpted into exuberant skirts that symbolize both Dior and Spain. Carefully considered volumes elevate the contrasts.

VIVA ESPAÑA: After Greece last summer , Dior is alighting in the southern Spanish city of Seville for its cruise 2023 collection.

Maria Grazia Chiuri , artistic director of women’s collections, will unveil her creations on the expansive Plaza de España on June 16, the house revealed on Monday. Built for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, it mixes elements of the Baroque Revival, Renaissance Revival and Moorish Revival styles of Spanish architecture.

Shaped like a half-circle, the plaza is surrounded by buildings that today are used mainly by government institutions, and is lined with tiled alcoves, each representing a different province of Spain. The buildings are accessible by four bridges over the moat, which represent the ancient kingdoms of Spain, with a large fountain located in the middle.

“The ties between Dior and Spain, and more specifically Andalusia, were forged as early as the 1950s, and have been strengthened ever since, with journeys leading to silhouettes bearing evocative names dreamed up by Monsieur Dior and his successors,” Dior said in a statement.

Among others, Christian Dior , the founder of the house, named a 1954 dress “Nuits d’Espagne” and a 1956 model “Bal à Séville.”

Chiuri will continue her tradition of collaborating with local craftspeople on the annual collection, which has the potential to significantly boost tourism revenues in its destination. Last year the house rolled out a series of videos about the Greek archeological sites that inspired her designs.

Overall, Dior is ramping up its schedule of physical displays, with plans to show its pre-fall 2022 women’s collection in Seoul on April 30, and to hold its first runway show for the men’s spring line, which is also a pre-collection, in Los Angeles on May 19. This will be followed by summer men’s ready-to-wear collection in Paris on June 24, and the fall haute couture collection in early July.

AUDIO SHOW DELUXE

Audio Show Deluxe 2024 is a departure from conventional audio events in the UK and one of the key differences is our commitment to providing excellent entertainment for our guests.

This year at Audio Show Deluxe our live music events are loosely based around a jazz theme and we have some fabulous artists to entertain you whilst taking a break in our dedicated jazz-bar space at the show.

(Saturday at Noon)

BowFiddle were hugely popular at Audio Show Deluxe 2023, so much so that we invited them back to perform a more jazz-oriented set as a trio at Audio Show Deluxe 2024.

Bowfiddle have performed at a wide range of prestigious venues such as Buckingham Palace, Blenheim Palace, Goodwood House, Spencer House, Wallace Collection, Claridges, Woburn Abbey, and many top London hotels.

The players have worked with the likes of Joan Armatrading, Take That, Alesha Dixon, Spice Girls, Shirley Bassey, Madonna, and Peter Gabriel to name a few; and on another note The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, Birmingham Opera, Moscow City Ballet; plus West End shows Matilda, Ghost, Les Miserables and Lion King again to name a few.

The quartet performed recently at the wedding of Richard Osman and also privately for the King of Bahrain in one of his homes.

THE SWEETHEARTS (Saturday at 16:00)

The Sweethearts are a female vocal trio who are requested to sing at high-end events worldwide. With amazing vocals and slick harmonies, this stunning trio sings everything and for every occasion. 

Individually, the singers have amassed a vast number of credits having performed in theatre, television, cruise ships, and have played world-renowned venues such as Wembley Arena, The Barbican, and The Dubai Opera. The singers have had the pleasure of working with some of the biggest names in showbiz including the National Symphony Orchestra and the legendary Kid Creole.

Together they are an exciting collective of talent and have added glamour, charisma, and unrivaled entertainment to many events worldwide and to some of London’s most prestigious venues including Claridge’s, Soho House, The Century Club & Quaglino’s.

ANTONIO FORCIONE (Sunday at Noon & 16:00)

Audiences are guaranteed a powerful show of wit, personality, and musical virtuosity.

Antonio Forcione is an artist in every sense of the word, hailed as one of the most charismatic, unconventional guitarists at large in the musical world today. With a host of international awards under his belt, and 20 albums released to date, this eclectic composer never ceases to stun his audience on stage, leading him to be referred to as the ‘Jimi Hendrix of the acoustic guitar”. His solo performances never fail to bring the house down, let alone when he is performing in a duo, as a trio, or with his quartet of international musicians. 

He breaks the mould of most conventional guitar sounds, be it in the field of jazz, Spanish, African, Brazilian or improvised music, with ferocious virtuosity, passion and humour. He has shared the stage and recorded with some of the world’s most accomplished musicians including Charlie Haden, Angelique Kidjo, Trilok Gurtu, Larry Coryell, Diego el Cigala, and many more (see list below) as well as supporting giants such as Phil Collins, Bobby McFerrin, Zucchero and Van Morrison amongst others.
