Matteo Garrone's, who is one of Italy's most high-profile directors, staging for the Dior Haute Couture SS21 collection.
KEY MESSAGE
The staging is built on the narrative by drawings on the visual force of the Visconti-Sforza tarot- the oldest surviving tarot cards from the middle of the 15th century.
OUTCOME
Decorated by the illuminator Bonifacio Bembo for Duke of Milan in the 15th century, this tarot deck illustrates the marvelous tale of this collection.
A voyage to the heart of a castle populated by characters embodying the major arcana who question and disorient, inviting the viewer to look at the world from a new perspective. In the director's interpretation, this quest surpasses gender boundaries, presenting a synthesis of masculine and feminine and in new heraldic mythology evoking the enchanted worlds Matteo Garrone loves.
