Dior is giving fashion a feminist twist this season.
At the brand’s Fall 2020 ready-to-wear show in Paris on Tuesday, the runway featured brightly colored signs with powerful phrases all evoking a strong feminist tone.

After the show, the brand also shared a behind-the-scene glimpse of the space, which also featured a newspaper-covered floor installation, located over the octagonal fountain in the Jardin des Tuileries in partnership with the Musée Louvre in Paris.
The collection had hints of masculine-inspired outfits, but overall evoked a 1970s esthetic, thanks to printed headscarves and muted plaid and checkered prints. It debuted during Paris Fashion Week in front of an A-list crowd includingCara Delevingne,Karlie Kloss,Rachel Brosnahan,Sigourney Weaver,Demi Moore,Maya Hawke,Nina DobrevandAndie MacDowellto name a few.

The display on the runway came one day after disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein wasfound guilty of rape and sex assaultin New York City.
On Monday, the jury found Weinstein guilty of two charges: criminal sexual act in the first degree and rape in the third degree. He was acquitted on three other charges.
Weinstein, 67, a producer behind 20 best-picture Oscar nominees, includingShakespeare in Love, ChicagoandThe King’s Speech,had fiercely denied the allegations, countering that his sexual encounters with the two accusers in the New York case were consensual.
While the show made a timely statement, this isn’t the first time Chiuri has used her position to champion feminist causes.
In 2017, Dior released its “We Should All Be Feminists” T-shirt, which quickly became a celeb-favorite (aportion of the proceeds to Rihanna’s Clara Lionel foundation).Kendall Jennerand Dior brand ambassadors including Natalie Portman (who wore hers to theWomen’s March in L.A.) andRihannawere all seen in the statement tee.
