In 2016 first time ever a woman became an artistic director of the legendary Christian Dior fashion house. Such appointment which was impossible before appeared as a turning point in the history of fashion and women empowerment.
Italian designer Maria Grazia Chiuri, who used to head Valentin house in duo with Pierpaolo Piccioli, has ultra feminist vision. Her collections at Dior are always inspired by one of the female contemporary artists. They give Dior’s clients a sense of self-confidence: still feminine clothes signed Chiuri, somehow protects its wearer, like a sort of body armour or even the bullet-proof vest. Modern super heroines would need such kind of garments, and Maria Grazia is here for them.
Strong and power, sculpturally beautiful, with prominent shoulders and endless bare legs Rousteing’s heroine doesn’t really need a man to save her life as she is perfectly capable to stand up not only for herself but for him as well. “Our finest arm can also be in our self-attitude”, – seems to tell us Olivier.
No wonder that some contemporary artists draw inspiration from this new visionary movement, translating women’s empowerment in their own way.
That’s the case, for example, of Lucien Murat. Young French painter in his works represents a figurative woman, or better say “superwoman”. Murat accentuates her purposely exaggerated features to show a comic and stereotypical side which the modern society has on… man.

A thin edge of seduction and the consumerism fetish is thoroughly blurred in Acosta’s art in the use of both light, and dark tones. Bold lines serve as a fashionable juxtaposition of a peaceful dream-like state and a vivid color, representing action and presence in the moment.
