Last year it was Seville and this time it was Mexico City’s turn to present the latest Crucero collection from the French house Dior, in this case inspired by the crafts of the American country and by Frida Kahlo.
After his defenestration, the ethnic style that was so popular in the middle of the last decade is back, accompanied by others that usually go hand in hand such as boho chicwhich we have already seen in the dress trends this spring-summer, or the influence of the 70s in the catwalk proposals.
This return is apparently marked by a less appropriative characterbut the controversy is also served after Dior’s commitment despite the fact that the creative director of the French house, Maria Grazia Chiuri, has chosen to make all the garments in Mexican regions to try not to cross that complicated line of the culture of cancellation for lack of respect.
In addition, in the collection, which is divided into two parts, there is a line of white dresses embroidered with red thread that denounces the femicides and sexist violence that is experienced in the country, a gesture that has received mixed comments: some praise the initiative of a luxury firm for using its platform and giving visibility to a problem as serious as this, just like Julia Roberts or Cate Blanchett have done by taking their shoes off in Cannes, and others emphasize that if this is not accompanied by more actions it is absolutely useless and that it is just one more way to get attention for the brand from a very European mentality.
In any case, and although it may seem otherwise, we are not here to talk about the collection of the housebut of Some sandals that we have signed in outlet from Pikolinos that also have ethnic details and that have reminded us of the new Dior line, saving the distance, of course.
They are flat and with a closed heel, which makes them perfect for day-to-day use and an ideal shoe to put in your suitcase if you plan vacations in the city that involve walks, visits to museums and other activities along these lines. These sandals and a pair of trending sneakers for this spring-summer 2023 and voila, that’s it!
According to what they comment on the Spanish brand’s own website, it is a model that is also made of leather by hand by Maasai tribe women. Its original price was 129.95 euros, but currently you can get them for 90.96 euros.
