Chanakya School of Craft x Olesia Trofymenko for Christian Dior

2022

Cultural heritage and craft traditions form the main source of inspiration for Ukrainian artist Olesia Trofymenko, who has dreamed up the set design for the Dior autumn-winter 2022-2023 haute couture show.

The floral garlands and wheat crowns were created using cross stitch color layering to capture the depth of the roses while the wheat stems were created with organic threads, couching and braiding.

The tree of life is hand embroidered with fine threads in satin stitches, juxtaposed with jute threads in key areas, as well as different knotting and small needlepoint techniques.
