FEMINISM Gender equality and women’s rights is a topic that is always in the media and is even being seen on the catwalk through fashion. It is influencing designer’s collections on the catwalk and one brand in particular is Christian Dior.

Maria Grazia Chiuri is now the luxury fashion house’s new and first creative director, which was announced in July 2016 (Holt, 2016) and has since shown the brand’s Autumn/Winter 2017 redy-to-wear collection. The clothing projects female clothing looking masculine, the collection has a lot of blue/navy, beret hats, blazer jackets and trousers. Maria Grazia Chiuri believes that blue is the colour of uniform and uniform speaks equality, so the models in the catwalk are wearing military inspired, navy clothing walking with a feminist attitude (Sheffield, 2016).
