Pietro Ruffo's Roman Artistry for Dior's First 'Chez Moi' Collection
/Dior’s Maria Grazia Chiuri continues her exploration of women’s evolving philosophy on comfort, centralizing the operations of everyday life in the home of the foreseeable future and breaking free of stereotypical norms about clothes and the female-identifying body.
The latest evolution in Chiuri’s thinking is Dior’s ‘Chez Moi’ loungewear collection, a series of key pieces that celebrate the stylish art of living at home. Models Akon Changkou and Clea Beuret get cozy as they deal with new ways of living in our COVID-riddled lives.
Dior’s “Chez Moi” collection ranges from $390 to $3,700 USD and is now available to shop online.
Maria Grazia Chiuri collaborated with Pietro Ruffo on a series of illustrations and motifs that celebrate the sky and earth, continents and constellations, and — of course — flora and fauna. The video below explores Pietro Ruffo’s artistry and his approach to creating the illustrations and prints that are the visual foundation of Dior’s ‘Chez Moi’ loungewear collection.
“For this new line, Pietro Ruffo, a Roman artist dear to the Creative Director, redesigned his emblematic zodiac motifs – a tribute to the superstitious nature of Monsieur Dior – as a world map linking sky and earth, continents and constellations, flora and fauna. Alongside a revisited version of the toile de Jouy, one of the House’s hallmark codes, his sketches sublimate precious pajama sets, delicate bathrobes and snug ponchos – irresistible, timeless pieces that can also be worn outside. An invitation to refinement and the gentle way of life, signed Dior.” – From Dior
