Maria Grazia Chiuri on Dior New York, what inspires her about the city, and how she’s realizing Mr. Dior’s global fashion aspirations.
The very first time that Maria Grazia Chiuri visited New York City, “people could still smoke in planes,” the Christian Dior designer reminisced with a laugh. She was 18, and remembers wearing a t-shirt with the words “KILLER” printed across the chest. “I was here on holiday, and the idea was to do a tour of the United States,” she said, “but when I arrived I just didn’t want to go anywhere else.
And everybody has a story. How would you define New York style? My obsession is sportswear. I remember on my tour when I was young I went to Gap. And then to Levi’s downtown, where you could do your special pair. I spent hours inside because I’m obsessed with denim. I love sportswear, it’s evident. New York is a city all about sportswear. Of course, there is uptown that is different, but the novelty to me was to find so many labels in sportswear that were cool. It was exciting.
