Coined in quarantine, concepts of #WFH, phygicality, (huh) and comfort-wear must have been a feast for the pragmatic eye of Maria Grazia Chiuri. High fashion’s foremost ergonomist, the Christian Dior designer was on a quest to unite the desirable with the wearable long before lockdown set in— and to the tune of the till bell, mind you. In the changed fashion landscape of 2020, she explained that her mission has intensified. “We had to approach this collection with an idea more of design. We are living in a different way and staying more at home within our intimacy. Our clothes have to reflect this new style of life.”
Oh yes times have changed and yes in a season fraught with issues with that range from pandemics to persecution to senseless killing, antisemitism and closer to home that the COVID infection levels are rising in France… shame on LVMH… shame on Arnault... This boulette de viande, aka the meatball, decides to dream of times in Italy, (apparently some part of Italy that I nor anyone I know has ever seen) …. the very idea that LVMH would sanction 400 attendees to be exposed to possible fatal consequences is unconscionable and tone deaf in the extreme. WTF are you thinking and instead of trying to be an intellect try being a designer who is socially aware of the world’s dire situation ! READ A NEWSPAPER !!

She further admits that the clothes look nothing like Dior but that is not exactly a shock since she still hasn't figured out what the essence and allure of the brand and the designer are… she of all designers should have her mouth sewn up.
Now for the clothes … WTF was she thinking ... this is like a trip down memory lane when one shopped in Azuma, Chico’s or in the sleepwear department hoping you can pass off a nightgown as evening wear. Almost 90 exits that say nothing other than who is this for, what is the head wrap indicative of …an ethnicity or location and where is all the righteous indignation that she has beaten her chest about about season after season.

Lastly why does she still hold this position?
