One of Maria Grazia Chiuri’s favorite materials for its graphic, couture spirit, warp print fabric featured among the crafts celebrated in the recently unveiled Dior Spring-Summer 2021 collection, a technique which involves dyeing the warp threads before they are woven.

In this video, our Creative Director shares some insights on the history and savoir-faire behind this fascinating technique used on a voluminous archive coat from 1959.
