Her oversized, dress length shirt read, “Die for Dior Atelier.” Interesting, I thought I highly doubt this has anything to do with Christian Dior’s eponymous brand.

The Dior FW23 show was like a letter of encouragement to the 1950s woman
Today’s Dior show felt like a love letter to 1950s fashion. Personally I love a long skirt and structured jacket.
