FEMALE ENERGY: Most of the guests entering the structure that housed the Dior fall 2020 haute couture show on Monday were oblivious to the fact that the 300-foot long installation represented a reclining goddess — minus the legs.
Chimamanda Ngozie Ayichie was unruffled about the unorthodox show set. “I think it’s not a question of breaking taboos just to break taboos, it’s also a question of talking about what needs to be talked about in the world we live in,” said the Nigerian author, whose work inspired the “We Should All Be Feminists” T-shirt in Maria Grazia Chiuri’s first show for the house in 2016.
The set was designed by artist Judy Chicago, best known for her installation “The Dinner Party” on show at the Brooklyn Museum in New York, which gives famous women throughout history and culture a literal seat at the table — as well as hand-painted plates depicting elaborately stylized female genitalia.
