The jacket you’ll want next season isn’t necessarily what you’d expect
telegraph.co.ukMaria Grazia Chiuri has done a huge amount to modernise and re-popularise the classic Bar jacket that Christian Dior introduced in his first collection for his label in 1947 – a serious piece of structured engineering that, in its original form, came with horse hair padded peplums and tightly girded waists.
Now she’s introduced a cropped jacket – similar to the styles first spotted in the cruise collection, which she showed in Seville three weeks ago (no it’s not you, designers’ collections come round with disorientating speed now).
On Monday, Chiuri presented the label’s Autumn couture collection in Paris – and there The Crop was again. This time it has been stripped of its matador references and acquired Ukrainian-inspired embroideries.
