Dior presents Chez Moi, its first capsule collection entirely dedicated to loungewear, and it is the perfect marriage of comfort and style.
“Lockdown hasn’t affected the way I dress tremendously, as I have always favoured practical and comfortable items of clothing, from denim to cashmere sweaters,” says Maria Grazia Chiuri, creative director at Dior. It is this idea of comfort dressing that is the basis of Dior Chez Moi, the first collection in the Maison’s storied history completely dedicated to loungewear. The range consists of pieces that are ideal for days spent indoors: pyjama sets, ponchos, bathrobes, and a few bikini tops and bottoms, should you venture out on to your deck to sunbathe. The footwear—slides, sneakers, and flat ankle boots—also fit the cosy vibe.
Still, Chiuri made sure to imbue the collection with fantasy motifs that are characteristic of Dior. Along with revisiting the brand’s signature toile de Jouy pattern, she enlisted Roman artist Pietro Ruffo to design prints featuring constellations, the world map, and natural elements. The results are playful and chic, and they stay true to Chiuri and Dior’s dreamy aesthetic. Cast on loungewear, they are perfect for quarantine life, but will also remain de rigueur well past this trying period.
“The Dior Chez Moi collection addresses our need for elegance and comfort in these unprecedented times,” Chiuri says. “I sought to create this line to accompany us in this new context when so many of our social interactions have been replaced by time spent at home.”
