This season, Maria Grazia Chiuri delivered 85 looks building on her signature aesthetic, in addition to a lot of buzzworthy signs.

Earlier today, the Dior Fall 2020 show happened at Jardin Des Tuileries, getting the fashion world talking with a politically charged first major show of Paris Fashion Week. Keeping in step with collections of the past (most recently, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/dior-haute-couture-spring-2020-runway-show">Haute Couture Spring 2020</a>), creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri made an effort to use her show as a platform to propose larger discussions than just fashion. In collaboration with the Claire Fontaine collective, Grazia Chiuri created a venue that was all but timid about addressing feminism from her distinct lens. Taking direct inspiration from an upcoming exhibition at Rome&#39;s&nbsp;National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, one quote on a prominent wall&nbsp;reads &quot;I Say I,&quot;&nbsp;taken from the title of the upcoming exhibition &quot;lo Dico lo &ndash; I Say I&quot;, conceptual indeed. But what does it all mean? Grazia Chiuri goes on in the show notes to explain that the show was a result of her gathering inspiration from a plethora of places: images of old couture clients, her own rebellious spirit,&nbsp;Germana Marucelli&rsquo;s studio in Milan, designed by artist Paolo Schegg, and a medley of other sources.&nbsp;

Translating all of her various inspirations, Grazia Chiuri delivers 85 looks for the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/dior-fall-2020-runway-show-stream-live">Fall 2020</a> collection. Aiming to strike what she called a &quot;perfect balance,&quot; the designer also references founding couturier Christian Dior&#39;s book The Little Dictionary of Fashion to implement what she considered to be staple elements to the collection. Explorations of a vintage polka dot pattern, classic black and white looks, knitwear, and fringe all completed the melting-pot-like&nbsp;collection. Other consistent elements included lots&nbsp;of&nbsp;plaids and checked patterns (a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fall-2020-trends-fashion-week">Fall 2020 trend</a>), various suiting options, and Grazia Churi&#39;s now well-known staple, a graphic tee that drives home the larger messaging surrounding the show. (This time, it says &quot;I Say I.&quot;) Notable accessories included headscarves and newsboy caps covering almost every look, fishnet socks, neckties, and signature logo belts and handbags.

While many of Dior Fall 2020&#39;s collection details revisited of what show attendees have come to expect from the design house in its current era, one can definitely admire the consistency&nbsp;and commitment given to the storytelling that is near to Grazia Chiuri&#39;s heart. Regardless of what issues are at the center of fashion in future seasons, we can all be assured&nbsp;when it comes to the conversations around feminism and highlighting female artists, Grazia Chiuri shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
