Although the talent of the petite mains has always been undeniable, for the Maison&#39;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/dior-haute-couture-spring-summer-2021-tarot-maria-grazia-chiuri">Spring/Summer 2021 Haute Couture collection</a>, their craftsmanship reaches new levels of excellence. Creative Director&nbsp;Maria Grazia Chiuri&nbsp;developed a series of ensembles that reflect&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/christian-dior-iconic-styles-bags-shoes" target="_blank">Monsieur Dior&#39;s</a> passion for tarot reading, taking to the seventh art with director Mateo Garrone a captivating film delivery of illusions and riddles. Through exquisite brocades, hand-dyed garments, and miniscule embroidery, the House of Dior reaffirms itself as a giant of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/paris-haute-couture-fashion-week-2021-highlights" target="_blank">Haute Couture</a>&nbsp;world.

The specialist Jean-Pierre Ollier was recruited by Maria Grazia Chiuri to recreate a magnificent d&eacute;coupage technique from the 18th century for &quot;The Protagonist&quot; gown. Known as lacca povera, this particular method uses silk-screened motifs, which are later made by hand. This captivating procedure contrasts various painted and embroidered elements on lace and then assembles them impeccably, without following any traditional sewing method.

Atelier Paloma, a French textile artist, was chosen to revive the legendary &quot;Miss Dior&quot;&nbsp;dress, using a new silhouette adorned with a lam&eacute; fabric in a matte gold hue. Roller-aged and adorned with carefully embroidered and gathered flower applications, this dress stands out from the collection as a true&nbsp;emblem of artisanal skill.
