Netizens accused the fashion house of indirectly supporting the terrorist state of the Russian Federation.
The fashion house Dior released a new collection called CRUISE 2023, but its advertising campaign became a scandal on social networks. AND Twitter and Instagram users began to be outraged by what they saw in the Dior “Russian motifs” design.
In particular, the birches of Russia, where models roam in brand new outfits.
At the same time, on the official website of the fashion house, in the description of the collection, nothing was said about the use of Russian style by the designer. Moreover, it says the opposite.
“For Maria Grazia Chiuri, the Dior 2023 Cruise Collection is a journey of revelation, imagination and reflection, where heritage and intellect meet. The symbol of this line is La Capitana, the name given to Carmen Amaya, which contains the essence of flamenco. Discover this series of unprecedented creations, celebrating the diversity of ideas about femininity,” describes the collection.
But on the company’s official Twitter page, the description mentions the tundra and even invites you to visit it.
“Travel the tundra with Dior this holiday season and discover fun silhouettes from Maria Grazia Chiuri’s #DiorCruise 2023 collection,” the tweet read.
It is worth noting that the undra is not only on the territory of the aggressor country of Russia, but also on the territory of Canada and the United States. At the same time, the word itself comes from the Finnish tunturi, which in translation is like a treeless, bare hill.

However, netizens noticed “Russian motifs” not only in the landscape. They are also known for high boots, blue and white patterns, lace and round dances.
Thus, part of the public accused Dior of indirectly supporting Russia.
“Isn’t it shameful for Dior to advertise a country designated by the EU as a terrorist country?” – angry at the network.

}
