Maria Grazia Chiuri reinvented the iconic pumps, fruit of the collaboration between Christian Dior and Roger Vivier, for the Dior Autumn/Winter 2022-2023 ready-to-wear collection. The Dior 62-22 brings together the past and the future – with the related years in reference within its name – through elaborate embroidery, technical elements, virtuoso skills and unparalleled craftsmanship. Timeless and sophisticated, not only is it ornamented in the most charming way, but also comes with a high-tech strap that perfectly hugs your ankle. This fastening system is adjustable, made of ultralight neoprene, has fluorescent yellow stitching and comes from the world of motorcycling, thus placing these marvelous shoes on a timeline that combines heritage and innovation.   

Whether blooming with mimosa flowers or shining with pearls or turquoise stones, the skills behind this masterpiece are certainly ones to admire!
