Fashion travel stories are often told in fashion pieces associated with important places or travel staples. These are the things that many big brands often use as inspiration to create a new and emotional experience that can connect people from different regions together, and for Dior itself, they use the concept of identity, and this has become an important basis in designing clothes and accessories well. The brand has a long history focused on connecting the story of art to time and place. They are presented through symbols of location and atmosphere so that they can convey the charm of that place through fashion styles according to their unique identity.
New York City style coat and book bag from the Fall 2024 collection.
Showcasing its Pre-Fall 2024 collection, Dior traveled abroad to New York City to present the fashions through the lens of Maria Grazia Chiuri, using the beauty of this dreamy city as a key theme in presenting this collection that has been interpreted and created to reflect the familiar landmarks and areas of New York. The most notable feature of this city is the Statue of Liberty and the many skyscrapers that clearly define this city. This pattern was used on the famous Dior Book Tote with a coat that also uses this pattern.
The black and white Book Tote bag has an Eiffel Tower pattern, reflecting the image of Paris.
Dior's journey has been illustrated several times in this way. Usually, distinctive handbags are combined with creativity through different styles. But once linked to the New York City style, the recently created Paris style appeared in the previous collection. It comes with white and black tones. Unlike New York which has a black and white pattern, both cards are associated with the city's iconic landmarks. (Paris uses the Eiffel Tower symbol.) Although it may be a simple pattern, it can reach the general public quickly but behind this large bag, there are intricate stitching details that speak volumes about the quality of the house.
This fall collection book bag is full of New York City styles.
The iconic Dior handbag is a masterpiece that has captivated fashion lovers for years. Since this bag appeared on the Spring/Summer 2018 runway, everyone has been paying attention to it and calling it the “It Bag” in the fashion world. It must be said that this is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, and full of important details. Like the New York and Paris patterns, each stitch is meticulously embroidered to create a pattern. There is no information about the number of stitches and how long it took to make the handbag in the fashion capitals of two continents. But from the level of creation of this bag and the highly detailed pattern in the first phase of its launch with over 1,200,000 stitches and over 32 hours of production time, it is clear that this is a wonderful bag that speaks a travel story, a travel story with sophisticated style that perfectly reflects the identity of the house.
