Maria Grazia Chiuri wanted to honor the excellence of the workshop for this new Spring-Summer 2022 haute couture collection. The silhouettes paraded in an aerial ballet of embroidery, feathers, trimmings, pearls and crystals. In a vision of white and black, enhanced with sparkles of gold and silver, draped leotards and evening dresses of dreamlike lightness alternated with architectural capes and coats or tights that had become jewels. Behind the apparent simplicity of a bare shoulder, one could guess the long hours of painstaking manual work. Each tiny rhinestone revealed the technical prowess of expert hands, like a muslin dress transformed into a bird's wing, embroidered with delicate feathers and shiny stones. The very setting of the show was a trompe-l'oeil. Works by famed Indian artist couple Madhvi and Manu Parekh adorned the walls, recreated in stately embroidered versions by Chanakya Workshops and the Chanakya School of Craft in Mumbai. Each colorful embroidery thus echoed the monochrome embroidery of the haute couture silhouettes, in a dialogue between Indian and French know-how sharing the universal language of the beautiful gesture, of craftsmanship as an artistic symbol.
