Christian Dior is set to hold its Pre-Fall 2023 show at Mumbai’s historic Gateway of India on March 30, under the direction of creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri. This event is a first for a major European fashion house in India.
According to Hypebeast, Chiuri has worked with the Mumbai-based Chanakya Atelier for over 20 years, attributing her personal and professional development to her connection with the artisans. The Christian Dior show intends to honour India’s rich heritage while spotlighting its present and future impact on fashion.

Chiuri’s collaboration with Chanakya helped her discover India’s distinct artisanal embroidery techniques. The collection will include traditional Indian designs such as silk dresses, evening coats, and sari-inspired skirts, with some pieces featuring Chanakya Atelier’s embroidery.
The show aims to emphasise India’s role in global fashion, the craftsmanship of its artisans, and Chanakya’s founders’ commitment to preserving Indian history and culture through embroidery. Additionally, the event highlights India’s burgeoning influence as a rapidly growing economy.
Netizens react to Christian Dior’s show being located in India
Netizens are scared that Jisoo, a South Korean celebrity, will be in potential danger while attending the Dior event. Some are suggesting that the Indian officials take extra precaution for the celebrity as she is also popular in India.
For the most part, Twitter users are not as excited for the luxury brand’s new season collection. Rather, they are ecstatic towards their K-Pop idols coming to Mumbai, as it is a rare treat to see them there.
