Dior partners with African artists for Cruise 2020 show

Dior flew the fashion crowd to Yves Saint Laurent's Majorelle Garden in Marrakech for its Cruise 2020 show. Rather than simply being inspired by Africa as a whole, the brand invited artists and artisans from different backgrounds and African cultures to work on the collection. Dior also teamed up with Sumano, an association that aims to revive the traditional women’s crafts of Moroccan tribes and designer Grade Wales Bonner to help reinterpret Dior's iconic bar jacket and skirt.
