Dior releases new images from the pre-fall 2024 collection, inspired by the brand’s recent mood embracing New York activism of the 1960s.

AOC considers Maria Grazia Chiuri to have platinum grade design and merchandising instincts. But even Anne thought Dior’s stars and stripes ‘tracksuit’ [above] was Chiuri’s rare flat tire, with its unabashed celebration of stars and stripes Americana. Yikes!

Reconsidering that Dior 2024 Stars & Stripes Tracksuit

After watching night one of the Democratic Convention in Chicago on Monday, I was probably dead-wrong. More tears and overt displays of Democratic, Independent and anti-MAGA Republican patriotism were on display last night, than America has seen in years — maybe decades. Tonight should exceed Monday.

Given my recent attitude adjustment, I now see Chiuri’s track suit as perfect for Democrats’ young Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett [IG], who has represented major parts of Dallas since 2023.

After the eloquently hell-raising speech [IG] Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gave in Chicago Monday night, AOC would probably wear the Dior Americana tracksuit, too.

So Anne was right-on in her analysis of an American state of mind unknown since 2008 and maybe not even then. WE are taking back patriotism — and with pride. But I was dead wrong with my haughty-woman response to that Dior stars & stripes tracksuit. Good work Dior; please accept my apologies. ~ Anne
