This season, Maria Grazia Chirui was closely inspired by nature. The collection includes references to Paleolithic cave paintings, Georgia O’Keeffe (an American artist, well known for her paintings of enlarged flowers) and feminist shaman Vicki Noble.
Technically, the show wasn’t in L.A. It was in Calabasas, the suburb in the Valley with famous residents. But when guests arrived at the actual venue, shuttled by a military grade supply of SUVs up a dirt mountain road in the Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve, and then by a smaller fleet of Gators, they might have thought they were on safari in the desert hills. The only thing Hollywood about the location in the Santa Monica Mountains was that it resembled a big-budget movie set, strewn with retro trailers and modernist tents pitched around piles of pillows, benches and woven carpets. Waiters kept the Moët flowing. Two hot-air balloons floating in the background bore the words Dior Sauvage, as did a sign erected on a hilltop yonder in a nod to the iconic Hollywood sign.
