Maria Grazia Chiuri has worked with Indian textile artisans for three decades, and she decided to exalt their richness with her pre-fall collection for Dior, alight with saturated colors, bold prints and intricate embroideries.

There’s also a pair of velvet flip-flops in a deep purple that have bestseller written all over them.

During a preview in Paris, Chiuri drew parallels between her native Italy and India, each of its regions sheltering unique craft traditions that have enriched fashion at home and abroad. “I want to celebrate this friendship, this sisterhood,” she said, also trumpeting India’s importance in the fashion system and its strong and unique culture of national dress.

Fashion is as much an attraction as the glorious cityscapes of Paris in the Netflix series “Emily in Paris,” but season-three costume designer Marylin Fitoussi insists she isn’t interested in starting any trends.

She also thinks it’s positive that some people hate the show.

“What they have to say helps me to be stronger, and to make things worse in a certain way. To have had so many critics [sounding off] about the previous season makes you grow. My mission was accomplished. If 50 percent of the people loved the show and 50 percent hated it, that means we provoked some kind of a reaction. What I did was not neutral. You can like it or hate it, but it was a real statement,” said Fitoussi, who took over the lead costume designer role for this new season, succeeding Patricia Field.
