JEWELS FROM THE RUNWAY: Dior’s Cruise 2019 Collection

Dior’s 2019 cruise collection was centered around the escaramuzas horseback riders: female equestrians in the traditional Mexican rodeo and the prints of French Toile du Jouy fabrics which typically feature tigers, monkey and serpent motifs. Dior’s creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri highlighted these animals as the main design in the jewelry. Brass logo ‘J’Adior’ Dior earrings were featured alongside asymmetrical earring pairings of Dior’sĀ  ‘Tribales’ studs and long pendant earrings featuring lion or monkey motifs wrapped around ball drops. Brass bracelets and necklaces took on the shape of bridles and bits (headwear equipment for horses) and were draped with double chains adorned with horses, horse heads and monkey pendants. This is not the first time Dior has tapped into horses as inspiration – remember their iconic and highly sought after saddle bag?Dior Cruise 2019Dior Cruise 2019Dior Cruise 2019Dior Cruise 2019Dior Cruise 2019Dior Cruise 2019Dior Cruise 2019Dior Cruise 2019Dior Cruise 2019Dior Cruise 2019Dior Cruise 2019Dior Cruise 2019Dior Cruise 2019Dior Cruise 2019
