On the presentation of the 2020 Cruise collection a statement from Dior said: “In the heart of Marrakesh, the sumptuous El Badi palace positively sparkled for the occasion of the 2020 Dior Cruise show by Maria Grazia Chiuri. A voyage outside of time, punctuated by rich savoir-faire.
“Above, there are only stars. On the ground, thousands of candles illuminate the ancient El Badi Palace with, in the distance, the majestic Atlas Mountains overlooking the night’s proceedings.
“Further heightening this enchanting scene are the melodies played
by Joujouka players, who are proud of their thousand-year-old history and whose
percussions, bamboo flutes and ghaitas (the
Arabic oboe) mingle with electronic rhythms by the English group The Orb,
pioneers of the “ambient house” style.
“For one night, the El Badi Palace, the late sixteenth-century
“Palace of the incomparable”, offers up all of its splendors of yesteryear.
Through the 2020 Cruise show, Maria Grazia Chiuri asserts her wish to create a
dialogue between cultures, a promise of a shared horizon, a common ground rich
in diversity.”
The Master Musicians Of Joujouka are performing live with The Orb in Marrakesh tonight (29th April) at 8.30pm (Morocco*) for the Dior Cruise 2020 Show.
The show launches the new Cruise 2020 Collection by Christian Dior’s Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri.
