French couture house Christian Dior upended its traditional catwalk show on Monday, presenting its intricate designs on miniature mannequins in a twist brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. Brands are having to unveil their collections online and through film as part of Haute Couture week in Paris, a showcase of high-end craftsmanship and one-of-a-kind outfits, after the presentations usually attended by fashionistas from around the world were cancelled in the wake of the outbreak. Dior’s gowns were inspired by female surrealist artists such as photographer Lee Miller and featured intricate embroideries as well as head-to-toe feathers in one lilac look. The looks were fitted onto 37 tiny dressmaker’s mannequins, which will later be dispatched to top clients around the world, and were presented to the public on Monday through a whimsical film shot by ‘Gomorrah’ director Matteo Garrone.
