Maria Grazia Chiuri headed a jury to select winners from the Dream for Change Project, presented at the Women@Dior conference at UNESCO in Paris.

“We have an opportunity and a responsibility at Dior to have a positive impact on society. Women’s emancipation and inclusion have always been at the heart of our maison,” she said.Arnault highlighted Dior’s longtime partnership with UNESCO, and added that it has become even stronger since the house joined the global education coalition to support young female students around the globe.

That overarching work to empower women has been imbued throughout the organization she said, noting that they have spread these topics transversally to give equal opportunity in employees’ careers, as well as create mentoring programs throughout Dior. The policy is a global strategy that is localized in each of the company’s main regions to interact with organizations on the ground.

Valsecchi noted that while there is a shift happening in the film industry, more scripts and roles need to be written by women that tell stories of women as complete people. The lack of representation on development teams leads to lack of diversity in the results and ultimately representation. Lair said tech needs to be more inclusive and attract more women — and that’s where fashion can step up. “The tech sector could really benefit from women and men from the fashion and beauty industry to help us create another image and a portal for women to express their freedom and creativity.

Chiuri was particularly excited about the winners’ projects. Having worked with embroiderers in India and visited South Korea, she explained that the these young women’s projects will make a direct impact on the cultures of their local communities.
