Christian Dior Pairs Updated Go-go Boots & Mary Janes With Retro Looks For Spring ’22
Paris Fashion Week kicked off with its first major runway show on Tuesday with a presentation from Christian Dior. For womenswear spring ’22, Dior creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri looked to the past and was inspired by the 1960s.
Inside the Tuileries gardens, models walked in a range retro outfits, featuring colorful miniskirts and matching jackets, printed a-line dresses and glamorous fringed dresses. For shoes, Chiuri updated the classic Mary Jane silhouette, seen in bright yellow, orange and green colorways on a white or black upper.

Dior’s spring ’22 line also featured sportswear-inspired looks — similar to its women’s cruise ’22 collection — including boxer-like outfits complete with satin shorts, bralettes and oversized jackets. These were paired with black leather lace-up boots made with an oversized outsole.
