Delve inside the fascinating Autumn Winter 2022-2023 by Dior collaboration with D-Air Lab, an Italian specialist in intelligent clothing. Maria Grazia Chiuri, Silvia Dainese and Alberto Piovesan show the fundamental principles behind the collection.
Technology’s promise of protection, of which D-Air lab is the spokesperson, meets the power of fashion enclosed in Dior. An unusual combination, but effective: the strength of this collaboration exploded in the fashion show of Tuesday, March 1 in Paris, conveying images of strong women in their “armor”.
Dior’s iconic garments are enriched with elements dedicated to the protection of the woman’s body: the Bar Jacket is proposed in two versions, the first equipped with airbags that follow the elaborate architecture of the jacket; the second one that reproduces the technology of the Antarctica project underwear, warming in case the body temperature drops. This second version of the Bar Jacket is, in fact, equipped with sensors capable of sensing drops in temperature, silver filaments that are able to convey heat where it is needed and channels that allow to move moisture upwards, keeping the body dry: a series of technical devices in which D-Air lab has put all its experience in the field of protection, managing (together with the joint use of the outer part of the Antarctica suit) to defend the body from the cold up to temperatures of -80 °.
