PARIS — Fashion brands and luxury houses are launching a number of initiatives to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8.
Dior will be unveiling the first in a series of podcasts featuring artists, collaborators and friends of the house. The first “Dior Talks” are devoted to feminist art and will feature Judy Chicago, Tomaso Binga and Mickalene Thomas, who have all collaborated with women’s creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri on her shows.
Other featured guests including British artist Tracey Emin and Paola Ugolini, one of the curators of the upcoming “I Say I” exhibition at the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome, sponsored by Dior, which inspired one of Chiuri’s slogan T-shirts for fall 2020.
The exclusive conversations will tackle topics such as the links between ethics and aesthetics, rebellion and dialogue, identity construction and the essential role played by clothing, as well as the representation of gender and its impact on societal behavior.
“These big questions, initially raised by Maria Grazia Chiuri in her manifesto collections, are debated; the entirety of her creative process represents an unwavering support for women artists who disrupt and rewrite our preconceived views of the world,” Dior said in a statement.
