Discover the Breathtaking Art Behind Dior’s Latest Collection
Discover Pietro Ruffo's remarkable art that features within the Dior Cruise 2021 collection. 

Last week Dior has unveiled its breathtaking Cruise 2021 collection. To mark the occasion the French fashion house hosted an awe-inspiring show in the small Italian town of Lecce in Puglia. At the heart of the show was a celebration of arts and crafts, with materials created by local artisans used within the collection itself.

To bring the collection to life, Dior creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri once again turned to long-time Dior collaborator, artist Pietro Ruffo. Through his art, Pietro Ruffo explores a wide array of social, ethical and political issues, including nature and freedom, which are at the heart of his thought process.

For the 2021 Cruise collection, Ruffo produced more than 250 illustrations over three months, in constant dialogue with Maria Grazia Chiuri. Ruffo turned to the book  De Florum Cultura, published by Giovanni Battista Ferrari in 1638,  as his inspiration for the creation of five floral motifs.

Adorned with adages such as“Les parfums sont les sentiments des fleurs” (Perfumes are the feelings of flowers), his spellbinding
drawings spring to life on a series of silhouettes, enhanced by the savoir-faire in the Dior Ateliers.

Discover Ruffo’s remarkable art that features within the Dior Cruise 2021 collection in the video below.
