Dior and the leopard
In February 1947, Christian Dior presented his first collection in the very luxurious salons of Avenue Montaigne; that day, the public discovered the outline of the new look that would become her name. This fashion show also marks the arrival of new technology; introducing a leopard print two-piece, a ‘Jungle’ sheath and an ‘Africa’ evening dress, Christian Dior becomes the first couturier to place the pattern in a print rather than skin or fur. . “If you’re pretty and sweet, don’t wear it,” she is said to have said at the time. Leopard then gradually became a staple of the house, especially under the leadership of renowned couture muse Miza Bricard.
In turn, the master creators of the House of Dior have worked to preserve this legacy, from Marc Bohan to John Galliano, including Gianfranco Ferre and Raf Simons. Since taking office in 2015, Maria Grazia Chiuri has also lent herself to marking her collections with a few feline spots, endlessly reinventing this motif.
