Fodor's Expert Review Dior

Following in John Galliano's outsized footsteps, Raf Simons did a brilliant job of redefining the label, but himself decamped in late 2015, leaving the door open for Maria Grazia Chiuri, Dior's first female designer for a label that's traditionally defined the feminine. Chiuri proved herself quickly, starting with the runaway success of her "We Should All Be Feminists" T-shirt and gorgeous flower-strewn collections that she calls both "feminine and feminist." Now one of fashion's major darlings, Chiuri's collections are hotly anticipated each season and her Avenue Montaigne boutique is an absolute must while in Paris.
