Earlier this month, Feminist artist Mariella BETTINESCHI’s series The Next Era served as the spectacular setting of Dior’s A/W 2022 collection.
In the same way that the French maison used technology to reimagine the relationship between body and garment, Bettineschi re-interprets iconic portraits of Renaissance women in a contemporary key. Her works are black and white, and her subjects - elevated on white ‘plinths’ highlighting their importance and stature - have two pairs of eyes that pierce bewildered viewers attracted by their absolute beauty and integrity.
BETTINESCHI’s 'The Next Era’ will be on view on our website as part of our online exhibitions from 16 March - 30 April 2022.
