Paris Fashion Week has arrived and what a way to begin the fashion spectacle as they took it up a notch with Christian Dior’s show. The runway was transformed into an archery zone, thanks to artist and archer Sagg Napoli, aka Sofia Ginevra Gianni.

So dope, if you ask us. Think of models strutting down the runway while arrows are flying—you heard that right. It did happen there; however, glass barriers kept the crowd safe, and the energy was practically electrifying. The competitive archer slayed in a killer one-shoulder bodysuit with a car wash miniskirt from Maria Grazia Chiuri’s new line. Every time she released an arrow, her muscles flexed and we were in awe.

Dior’s creative director has always been about empowering women, and this time was no different. Except, it was ballistic as the 33-year-old Italian archer channeled powerful figures like Diana the Huntress and Wonder Woman. Chiuri pulled a page from the books of these iconic warriors, and reshaped the meaning of femininity. This season, strength and elegance were a total power couple—we ship.
Dior’s Strength in Style—Collection to Remember
Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Spring-Summer 2025 collection flipped the script on femininity. She wove history through modern vibes, telling a story that hit home. Her bodysuits were low-key chilling under sheer dresses, and blazers were matched with mesh track pants. The jackets with the crisscross parachute straps were a whole mood. Don’t even get us started on those knee-high gladiator boots—total showstoppers! The standout piece in our opinion, was the Amazone dress.

It paid homage to Dior’s classics from the 1951-52 lineup (celebrating women’s strength and independence). The fashion designer’s reimagining of this iconic silhouette drove home the point that fashion can indeed be a power move. The collection wowed spectators in bold black-and-white, with playful pops of colour. Checkered patterns strutted along the runway like they were ready for a Broadway gig. It also featured tailored shirts paired with flirty skirts, serving the versatility of modern femininity.
Let’s not forget the red bomber jackets—because every collection needs a fiery statement piece. Chiuri also brought in some cool embroidery—butterflies and fringes for that playful touch. Jersey fabric in lightweight evening dresses and sporty shirts blurred the line between casual and formal, giving that go-to feel for everyday elegance.
A Strong Message Behind the Solid Dior SS25 Collection
With the Olympics and Paralympics hitting Paris in 2024, Maria Grazia Chiuri’s collection put equality and empowerment on display. She brought in Sagg Napoli to flex her archery skills, sending the message that strength shows up in all kinds of ways.

It’s like a motivational poster IRL, reminding us that a strong mind and body can seriously do some amazing things. Chiuri’s designs showed that fashion isn’t always about looking fly—it’s about feeling powerful. Her pieces are made for real life, blending casual and formal vibes effortlessly. You can rock a stylish bodysuit under a chic dress, whether you’re grabbing coffee or hitting a gala. The versatility hits like a cold drink on a hot day. Each piece tells its own story, making you vibe with your clothes on a personal level.
