The “fun” in runway fashion is looong gone 🌸🐉 What do you see when you think of early 2000s Dior, Moschino and Fendi? Crazy layers? Sexiness? Y2K aesthetic? It’s what I imagine as the most fun era of runway fashion One of my fav collections ever is: Dior Ready-To-Wear, Spring 2005 Colour clashes, bold accessories, punk-inspired but with clear influence from vibrant Japanese street style & Fruits magazine 🤩 What’s so great about it - is the almost DIY look, Like you could recreate something similar from thrifted pieces & some fabric markers And that’s why it’s so fun Aspirational style but not unattainable INspirational (Besides the severely unattainable model look from the 2000s) Does anyone else have a favourite era of fashion? Maybe 80s punk, Y2K, or 70s Studio 54 vibes? 👇 It was fun (how many times can I say fun in one post?) to illustrate this iconic look from my fav Dior collection Adorned with some cool dragons inspired by my Vietnam trip Nothing I love more than portrait drawing & playing with colour clashes to experiment! PS I still actually love a lot of runway fashion every year, but a gal can’t help but reminisce on old times 😝 #illustration #fashion #adobe

What is real luxury? Maybe a haute couture dress, or a custom-made fragrance. Maybe luxury is the same as freedom or liberation. Perhaps it can be all the above... "Luxury is a state of mind" - says designer L'Wren Scott, and we definitely agree. What do you think?

Designing Through the Decades: A 26-Year Reflection on jewellery Artistry! After 26 years of designing, my approach to jewellery has truly evolved. When I first started, my designs were simple and experimental, driven by a curiosity to explore various techniques and styles. Over the years, I’ve learned that design is not just about creating something beautiful—it's about telling a story and crafting a personal connection. In the beginning, my process was largely about finding my voice and experimenting with different materials. I focused heavily on trends and what was popular at the time. As I gained more experience, I began to understand the importance of incorporating personal touches and deeper meanings into each piece. Today, my design process is more refined and intentional. I take the time to understand the client's vision, merging their story with my creative expertise. I’ve become more focused on timeless elegance, ensuring that each piece I create is not only aesthetically pleasing but also meaningful and unique. It’s been a journey of growth—from learning the basics to mastering the art of personalization. My designs have matured, reflecting a deeper understanding of what makes jewellery truly special: the blend of artistry, craftsmanship, and emotional connection. Here's to continuing this journey and creating more pieces that tell stories and hold cherished memories. #JankiChoksi #jewelleryDesign #26YearsOfDesign #jewelleryEvolution #Customjewellery #CreativeExploration #Naturelnspired #DesignWithPurpose #ThinkBold #CareDeeply #FutureOfDesign #ArtistryInMotion Bvlgari Cartier Tiffany & Co.

I think Dior needs to organize a sit-down seminar for people in the industry who criticize Maria Grazia Chiuri. The seminar should begin with the fact that Dior has tripled its profits since Mrs. Chiuri joined the company, followed by a presentation on the brand's best-sellers. After that : 1. A group discussion about a best-selling bag (book tote) made out of fabric that not only does well on its own but is also part of seasonal collections, attracting additional clients. 2. An overview of the Dior logo print that seamlessly transitions from accessories to ready-to-wear pieces without appearing tacky. This also applies to the use of the Dior actual logo. Maria Grazia Chiuri is skilled not only in design but also in merchandising. When certain styles reappear after a few seasons, it indicates their success and justifies their return. Additionally, Dior classics such as bar jackets are offered in a variety of fabrics and details season after season, meeting the demands of women who appreciate them. The Pre-Fall/Winter 2024 collection, presented in NYC, was inspired by Marlene Dietrich. While the inspiration may not be directly connected to Dietrich's appearance (which is not novel today), it captures her spirit. Chiuri admires independent women and is shaping a new Dior for those who create their style, spend their own money, and disregard critics who find the current Dior designer uninspiring. The collection comprises 77 looks, all of which are wearable. The runway pieces do not require a showroom version; they appear just fine as is. Some may argue that the collection's pieces, such as Look 44 (silver skirt and wool pullover) or Look 35 (white shirt and gray pants), are standard looks any designer could've made. However, no one does it as chic as Dior. And for those who seek "wearable newness," look at look 19: a trendy short coat, full short skirts, and tall boots. I love this collection. #wwd #vogue #bof #dior #fashion #fashiobusiness

Luxury is a lie we buy into. Polished on the outside but hollow underneath. Take a Christian Dior bag, for example. It costs $38 to make, yet they sell it for $3,600. It's a $3,562 markup for the illusion of luxury. So, what are you really paying for? We live in an era where brands sell us a "veneer." It's all about the logo, the image, and the surface-level shine. But real value comes from what's beneath. It's like comparing a mass-produced Dior bag to a handcrafted elk-skin bag from Jasper. One is for the show; the other is to last. The same goes for building your brand. Are you selling an illusion, or are you offering something meaningful? Stop focusing on appearances. If you want to build something that lasts, focus on substance over flash. Forget the polished veneer—create something tangible that delivers actual value and withstands scrutiny. Success comes from what's underneath the surface. If all you're selling is the shine, don't be surprised when people see through it. P.S. Have you ever bought into the "veneer" of a brand or strategy? How did it turn out for you?

Dior Spring 25. I would like to summarize Kim Jones's design style as the RTW creative director, working with a method similar to that used by handbag designers. I call it "Handbag Designer in RTW." Let me explain: The handbag business thrives on "proven" styles, which typically generate profit. Similarly, Kim Jones "runs" the same silhouettes from collection to collection. Almost everything he showcased for SS25 has been seen before. I would include a comparison with pictures, but I don't have time right now. In handbags, novelty is introduced in three ways: Changing color/fabric: LVMH Métiers d’Art oversees this aspect. Collaborating with famous artists, musicians, etc.: LV has an entire series dedicated to this, such as Artycapucines. Creating completely new styles. Kim Jones follows a similar pattern: Familiar silhouettes are presented in different fabrics and shades of grey and green. The novelty comes through collaboration. This time, it's with South African master potter Hylton Nel. A few new items (very few) are added. The Dior men's collection is strong but, maybe this time we should skip the clothes and just take a few cats:). Innovating within a non-avant-garde men's brand is challenging, but it aligns perfectly with LVMH's overall strategy. #dior #wwd #bof

Today, I designed a perfume post for Parfums Christian Dior Miss Dior Eau de Toilette. The idea behind this design was to create a simple yet elegant look that matches the perfume’s classy feel. I used a soft pink background to give it a romantic and feminine touch. To make the design more attractive, I added floating petals and ribbons, which give the feeling of lightness and beauty, matching the fragrance's vibe. The tagline “Perfection at its Best” highlights the premium quality of the perfume. To grab attention, I included a 50% off offer at the bottom with a "Shop Now" button, making it easy for people to make a quick purchase. I’d love to know what you think about this design and if it captures the fragrance’s essence. If you're looking for vibrant, eye-catching designs that grab attention and drive sales, let’s connect! I’d love to help bring your vision to life. #PostDesign #SocialMediaPost #GraphicDesign #Feedback #Dior #Fragrances

The making of Christian Dior Couture garments involves processes that blends traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. From designing concepts, pattern making, fabric cuttings, assembly to fitting, adjustments, finishing touches & presentation. The whole process ensures each garments is a high-quality masterpiece. Dior's leather goods collections are made in Europe. Their shoes and ready-to-wear collections are manufactured in France and in Italy. Much of the world has slowed down but Christian Dior Couture haute couture production has continued in the homes of its talented seamstresses. While millions embrace teleworking, the artisan gowns have been skillfully created through the concept of ‘telecouture’.
