A Date With
Dior
Well look what we have here! My first fashion event in over a year, back in the capital on a golden spring evening and loving every second of the occasion I may add - that's if that smile didn't already give it away haha
You know I don't often dedicate a full blog post to events but my first acceptance of an invite since March 2020 feels like a joyous milestone I just have to mark here on Inthefrow. And of course when Dior invite you to discover the newest summer capsule of Dioriviera by Maria Grazia Chiuri as well as their takeover of Alto @ Selfridges on the rooftop - well of course that warrants a blog post!
I hope you adore the images that Kyle was kind enough to shoot with me at the launch of Dior @ Alto and I hope you love finding out a little more about the brands amazing collaboration, as well as the newest reinvention of Dioriviera for 2021.
PS - For full transparency I wasn't asked to post about this incredible event but after over a year of no get togethers with some of my favourite brands and colleagues, I just couldn't resist!

In the run up to summer the incredible Maria Grazia Chiuri reinvents some of the most iconic Dior prints and capsules to create the Dioriviera capsule, just in time for vacations. Think the prints you love the brand for such as Toile de Jouy and Oblique, brought crashing into the new season with iterations in sour Raspberry and bright Chartreuse this time around, to celebrate the sunshine. You'll find Lady D-lite updated in new shades, Mitzah scarves featuring the most lusted after holiday destinations, retro beachwear pieces reinvented in classic Oblique and all sprinkled with the joy of limited edition accessories.

Surfboards, skateboards, beach rackets and even deckchairs - the ultimate in chic vacay additions no matter your destination.
So if there's one collection that signals summer is truly on the horizon this year, it just has to be Dioriviera!
