Maria Grazia Chiuri’s latest couture collection for Dior was inspired by the circus, which is why the catwalk was filled with performing acrobats as well as models.

The circus influences were deftly woven throughout the collection, appearing via ruffled clown collars, a tattooed sleeve – reminiscent of a Victorian circus performer – or through tulle skirts covered in sequins, in a nod to the costumes of acrobats, tamers and riders.
