        <p><span>Maria Grazia Chiuri describes the new 2023 Dior cruise collection as a journey of inner and outer exploration. Showcasing Seville as its main theme and location, the collection is an ode to the house&rsquo;s native country and history. </span></p>
        <p><span>Entitled </span><span>La Capitana</span><span>, Carmen Amaya&mdash;an illustrious dancer who embodied the essence of Flamenco&mdash;serves as this collection&rsquo;s chief inspiration. Born in 1913 in Barcelona, she was revolutionary in both her singular movements and in her choice to wear traditional male clothing during her performances. </span></p>
        <p><span>The 2023 Spring/Summer Seville show frames the dual spirit of this collection&rsquo;s muse : it begins with a beautiful sequence in which a man and a woman are tap-dancing. Dancers in red Dior costumes slowly make their choir-like entry, as if orchestrated by the tap-artists. Echoing back to Christian Dior&rsquo;s 1956 &ldquo;Ball à Seville&rdquo; dress, the models file out under the jaw-dropping Plaza de España, built in 1929 for the Iberico-American Exposition. </span></p>

        <p><span>The profusion of red and black earth tones, and the use of patterns such as </span><span>traje de lunares </span><span>polka-dots, echo back to the infamous flamenco dress. Equestrian elements are also found in concord chaps, horsemen trousers, cavalier boots, bar jackets, and high-waisted suits. </span></p>
        <p><span>Accessories are placed back at the forefront, with short jackets festooned with Chinese branderbourg closures, wide-brimmed hats, and belts&mdash;even the emblematic Dior saddle bag is revisited accordingly. Ponchos, boleros, and the Manilla shawl are also reconceptualized with a sharper edge and tailoring. </span></p>
        <p><span>&ldquo;The looks embody the passionate dialogue between the excellence of Dior&rsquo;s ateliers and the wealth of Andalusian craftsmanship&rdquo; stated the luxury brand. Paying homage to Andalusian savoir-faire, Dior collaborated with Javier Menacho Guisado, Fernandez y Roche, Jesús Rosado, Abanicos Carbonell, and María José Sachez Espinar, alongside many Andalusian artisans. </span></p>
