The making of Dior Fall 2023 in India

[@mvdl1224]

Dior needs to be transparant about whether these artisans are compensated equally to their French colleagues. Is this celebration or is this reframing years of outsourcing (read: exploitation) in response to India's emergence as a massive luxury market and growing online cultural awareness about ethical production, as well as the non-western origin of many embroidery techniques? The work on display in this collection is stunning and I believe the creatives (including MGC) behind Dior are earnest in their appreciation of Indian craftsmanship, but with LVMH turning record profits, I thinks it's fair to ask critical questions about the integrity of this 'celebration' or whether this expert pr. It would be nice if one of the most profitable and prolific brands were to take the lead in solving some of the world's systemic inequalities by foregoing short term profits and showing their appreciation of Indian craftsmanship in quantifiable terms. Their current silence speaks volumes...

[@AntelJM]

I agree. Dior have chosen India because of the rock bottom production prices, like every other company does. This spin of offering the ‘tAlenTeD ArtIsAnS’ ‘recognition’ changes nothing.

[@sarcasticsree]

Exactly ! These brands needs to be transparent & pay to these artisans the price what they truly deserve !

[@sarahbritt1234]

​@@AndjelaDra99I hope that type of lunatic fanaticism (accusations of appropriation) is starting to pass. It's a weird fad, but it's a fad. That used to not exist. Many different cultures want to share what they have/know with others. It's been happening since the beginning of civilizations. I feel people are tired of being accused of something unfairly just because they found and wore a beautiful piece of clothing.

As an Indian I feel like india can stand alone without the partnership of Dior. I mean look at the skill and craftsmanship. They should make a brand in itself with out relying on expensive partnerships that only drain resources

[@Doobedoobedooba]

it will take some time for us to capture the market. Right now, western brands with little to no knowledge of craftsmanship compared to Asians are using Indian craftsmen and Bangladeshi labour to sell their products. Just look at Chinese, Japanese and Indian craftsmanship... Western clothes are BLAND. WE KNOW IT! It's boring fashion but they have the resources and they have monopolised a lot of it. It will take some time to break the hegemony but we are going towards that very fast.

[@bhaskarchatterjee5249]

The problem is Indian’s haven’t been able to market our products internationally or even nationally because of the closely knit culture and different social stigmas and conditions that prevail

Such exquisite state of the art crafts, with the Indian color palette, embroidery with sapphires, mirrors etc. Indian fashion, and their material, many are hand crafted with techniques existing for centuries. India should get a worldwide spotlight and recognition for their fine art, crafts, fashion and much more of their wonderfully rich and diverse culture.

Why you need 'Dior' to give Indian culture recognition. If you read history, India has always been known as a hub of craftmanship since Indus Valley Civilization. This Dior is nothing but overrated shit

European luxury brands are trash and about to be dead in the waters. They're now bilking India, China, and others 3rd world countries for a lease on life. Why anyone is helping these European brands is beyond reason itself.

Please treat yourself with more dignity than displayed here in the video.

Thank you Dior for showing the craftsmanship that exists within India in its textiles and fashion industry. The depth of meaning for the colors and materials utilized imbues the fabrics with meaning and life. From the embroidery to the threads to the beading to the dying and stamping of patterns to the use of reflective materials. Everything has so much meaning. It's a joy to just have a peak into how their fabrics are created and woven. Such a phenomenal video. I have enjoyed these background video for the collections lately which delves into the craftsmanship that exists in many societies. Thank you . . . It's very good to see schools developed to carry on these crafts.
