Although the theme created an expectation the Dior clothes themselves may offer some powerful exploration of racism or being Black, the collection itself remained very Parisian. It was only a veiled homage to the Black pioneer who fought battles against race, gender and nationality all her life. Williams, who found fame playing the feisty Arya Stark, told The Associated Press that “I find the Dior woman to be something to really aspire to,” calling the clothes “powerful” for women.SANCTIONED RUSSIAN INFLUENCER INVITED
