The accomplished Creative Director for Dior is celebrated for advancing the historic French house to a modern era of fashion for women by women
DALLAS, Jan. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Neiman Marcus announces Maria Grazia Chiuri, Creative Director of Women's Haute Couture, Ready-To-Wear and Accessories Collections for Dior, as the 2024 recipient of the Neiman Marcus Award for Distinguished Service in the Field of Fashion. This is the same distinction that was given to Monsieur Dior in 1947. Dior's first female creative director receives the honor as a transformative creative visionary who has made a significant impact on the luxury fashion industry.

"The Neiman Marcus Awards celebrate global fashion luminaries who have inspired and shaped the industry," said Geoffroy van Raemdonck, Chief Executive Officer, Neiman Marcus Group. "We recognize Maria Grazia Chiuri with the same award Monsieur Dior won for her extraordinary work at the House of Dior that has catapulted female creative representation in the industry. Her historic appointment at the Parisian Maison has ushered in a new era of cultural impact for the brand."
Chiuri's internationally acclaimed career spans over 25 years with some of the world's most iconic fashion houses including Fendi and Valentino. Through her leadership and creative passion, she has brought an elegant and modern vision that pays homage to the house's heritage and revolutionary codes originally created by Monsieur Dior. Her insightful perspective inspires and engages women who recognize themselves in her fashion.
"I am honoured and delighted to receive the Neiman Marcus Award. Receiving this award given to Christian Dior in 1947, in recognition of the extraordinary impact his first collection had on the world of fashion, fills me with pride. Since my arrival at Dior, I have striven every day to respect this heritage that is part of the history of fashion, while also using my own poetic approach to shape the future of the brand in our complex world that is constantly bringing new challenges," said Chiuri. "This award pushes me to keep giving my all, doing the best I can for women, helping them to find the awareness they need to never give up on themselves and to overcome all hurdles. It is to them, to all the women who have made me a better woman, that I dedicate this award. I also dedicate it to Michela Murgia: an author, activist, friend, and endless source of inspiration."
In less than a decade at the helm, Chiuri has led Dior to new heights as one of the most desirable luxury brands globally. Through her platform, she has showcased a multitude of female creatives on an unprecedented level and beyond her designs, she values community and culture. Chiuri has earned notable recognition for her efforts to create stronger female leadership and permanent impact on the industry. As a women co-founded and majority women-led organization, Neiman Marcus Group shares her value of women's empowerment within the company and industry.
Stanely Marcus presented the same honor to Monsieur Dior in Dallas at the eve of his career. In his memoirs, Monsieur Dior remarks the formative experience as the moment his young brand was able to first connect with the American customer. "Rereading the letter, I discovered that the Oscar…would for the first time be awarded to a French couturier and that I was going to receive this accolade as early as my first collection!," said Christian Dior in his book Dior: The Autobiography of Christian Dior. "What was being recognized was the awakening of French fashion. It was my duty to represent my country on such an honorable occasion, confirming the preeminent place of Paris in this domain."
On March 3, Chiuri will be recognized in front of her peers and additional forthcoming honorees at the retailer's awards celebration during Paris Fashion Week at the iconic Ritz Hotel. This celebration will commence with a full year of multi-level programing with each recipient that will focus on connecting customers with unique experiences as part of its comprehensive 'retail-tainment' strategy.
"Throughout her career, Maria Grazia Chiuri has been a powerful force in the luxury industry, showing an unwavering dedication to the advancement of women in fashion," said Lana Todorovich, Chief Merchandising Officer, Neiman Marcus. "Her creations will be brought to life through our 'retail-tainment' strategy which connects our customers to exclusive experiences from our premiere brand partners."

ABOUT MARIA GRAZIA CHIURI:Maria Grazia Chiuri was named Creative Director of women's haute couture, ready-to-wear and accessories collections for Dior in July 2016, becoming the first woman to hold this position at the House. Across the seasons, and through her many collaborations, she reveals the talents, inventiveness and commitment of artists and artisans from around the world, whose savoir-faire, techniques and images nurture and enrich a priceless collective heritage.
"I strive to be attentive to what is happening in the world and to create fashion that resembles the women of today. Fashion that accompanies them in their transformations, avoiding stereotypical categories of «masculine/feminine, «young/less young,» and «reason/emotion,» which also have complementary aspects," Maria Grazia Chiuri explained at her first runway show for the House of Dior. Beyond gender and differences, she champions the importance of plurality and self-affirmation in the name of free will.
In her view, fashion is not only a means to better understand oneself, but also a tool for expressing one's identity and authentic, multi-faceted singularity. Her work is inspired by personalities who embody a true balance between grace and strength of character. Her muses include dancers, artists, photographers, activists and writers, as well as the courageous young women of today, first among them her daughter, Rachele.
Maria Grazia Chiuri was born in Rome in 1964. Inspired by her mother, a dressmaker, she knew early on that she wanted to work in fashion. She studied at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Rome, where she trained in the technical side of fashion design while exploring the cultural and artistic heritage of the Italian capital. Art history and cinema have always informed her work, notably during her time at Fendi, a House for which she designed handbags, starting in 1989. In 1999, she was appointed head of accessories at Valentino, and from 2008 to 2016 held the position of joint creative director alongside Pierpaolo Piccioli.
Since arriving at Dior in 2016, Maria Grazia Chiuri has encouraged a celebration of universal empowerment and sorority. Through the messages in her collections and runway presentations, which are conceived like so many manifestos, such as "We Should All Be Feminists", "Sisterhood Is Powerful" and "Women's Love Is Unpaid Labour*", she reasserts and celebrates the values central to feminist (r)evolutions and the younger generations, transcending dictates and stereotypes more than ever through audacious artistic dialogues that are constantly reinvented.
On the occasion of the Dior fall-winter 2019-2020 haute couture show, Maria Grazia Chiuri was awarded the Chevalier de l'Ordre National de la Légion d'Honneur (Knight of the National Order of the Legion of Honor) by France's Secretary of State for Gender Equality, Marlène Schiappa. This prestigious recognition distinguishes the creative passion and commitment of the Creative Director, who through her involvement and vision of fashion and haute couture contributes to the influence of France and the House of Dior around the world.

Un momento d’oro per le donne nello sport?

Il Medagliere delle Mestruazioni classifica i paesi che hanno gareggiato a Parigi quest'estate e vede i colossi dello sport buttati giù dal podio
Milano, 6 settembre 2024. Recentemente, la conversazione su sport e mestruazioni si è presa spazio, anche in considerazione dei Giochi di quest’estate: l’attenzione mediatica sul rapporto tra flusso mestruale e prestazioni sportive è cresciuta.
Ma c'è ancora molta strada da fare, come dimostrato da un nuovo studio sul supporto alla salute riproduttiva e intima, condotto dagli esperti di salute femminile INTIMINA. I risultati sono stati utilizzati per produrre il Medagliere delle Mestruazioni, evidenziando i risultati dei paesi partecipanti ai giochi di quest'estate.
In una sorprendente riorganizzazione, nazioni che di solito occupano i primi posti, come USA e Cina, ora languono in fondo alla lista delle prime 20, con solo una medaglia di bronzo a testa, pari per importanza a Italia, Argentina, Ungheria e Germania.
Al vertice della classifica c'è invece la Svizzera che, grazie al suo atteggiamento culturale di apertura, all'accesso alla contraccezione, alla fornitura di servizi sanitari pubblici, alle politiche progressiste sul posto di lavoro e all'istruzione completa e integrata (sia tra ragazze che tra ragazzi), ha ottenuto due medaglie d'oro e tre d'argento.
La classifica
L’Italia si classifica agli ultimi posti nella lista dei migliori paesi: a determinare questo risultato, la tassazione sui prodotti per la gestione delle mestruazioni, la difficoltà a parlare apertamente di ciclo mestruale nel Paese e i relativi miti che persistono, l’assenza di un piano coerente di educazione sessuo-affettiva, l’assenza di politiche nazionali per la gestione delle mestruazioni e delle problematiche intime sul luogo di lavoro.
Metodologia e nazioni con le peggiori performance
La ricerca ha analizzato le performance in cinque aree fondamentali, assegnando un punteggio:
•accesso ai prodotti per l'igiene mestruale (inclusi costo, tassazione, gamma e disponibilità di un bagno privato e sicuro),
•stigma legato al ciclo mestruale (inclusi atteggiamenti culturali e rappresentazione nei media),
•accesso al controllo delle nascite e all'aborto (inclusi legislazione, facilità di accesso al controllo delle nascite e atteggiamenti culturali),
•politiche sulle mestruazioni sul posto di lavoro (incluse politiche sui congedi per malattia),
• e istruzione sulle mestruazioni (incluse politiche educative e accesso alle risorse).
In fondo alla lista troviamo lo Yemen, con le leggi sull'aborto più restrittive al mondo, l'accesso ai prodotti per l'igiene mestruale fortemente limitato e l'educazione sulle mestruazioni inadeguata e spesso assente. È seguito da vicino dalla Somalia, dove il 60% della popolazione non ha accesso a strutture igieniche adeguate e poche iniziative guidate da ONG significano un accesso estremamente limitato ai prodotti per la gestione delle mestruazioni. Le donne nella maggior parte dei paesi negli ultimi 10 sono costrette a usare alternative come foglie o vestiti e la mancanza di un'istruzione coerente significa che le ragazze nelle aree rurali si sentono stigmatizzate.
La dottoressa Susanna Unsworth, ginecologa presso INTIMINA, ha commentato: "Nonostante il miglioramento nella comprensione di come i cicli mestruali influenzino le atlete, resta il fatto che c'è un urgente bisogno di cambiamento in tutto il mondo. Quasi la metà (42%) delle atlete afferma che le loro mestruazioni sono state un fattore nella decisione di abbandonare del tutto lo sport*, e inoltre, i dati UNESCO hanno mostrato che 335 milioni di ragazze frequentano scuole con acqua, servizi igienici e strutture igieniche inadeguate: ostacolando la loro istruzione e impedendo loro di raggiungere il loro vero potenziale nella vita, non solo nello sport. Anche nel Regno Unito, una ragazza su 10 non è stata in grado di permettersi prodotti per la cura delle mestruazioni, negli Stati Uniti è una su cinque***.
"Dovremmo continuare a onorare e sostenere ogni atleta che dimostra il coraggio di chiedere conto ai media, alle istituzioni sportive e ai governi mondiali della salute riproduttiva femminile, per il bene non solo del loro sport ma anche delle persone che hanno le mestruazioni in tutto il mondo".

Relax outdoor di alta qualità, soluzioni tecniche ed impiantistiche all’avanguardia per aree di comfort esclusive
Bergamo, 6 settembre 2024. Le piscine in acciaio inox sono la soluzione ottimale per una pausa rilassante e rinfrescante nelle calde giornate estive. Realizzate con materiali di alta qualità, sono particolarmente adatte per essere installate negli spazi outdoor di residenze private, strutture alberghiere, agriturismi e centri benessere.
“Innovazione e ricerca costanti ci consentono di offrire soluzioni tecniche ed impiantistiche all’avanguardia, trasformando gli ambienti in aree di comfort esclusive”, afferma Gaudenzio Daminelli, CEO e Founder dell’azienda iDaminelli di Bergamo. “I vantaggi delle piscine costruite con pannelli in acciaio inossidabile sono davvero molteplici: innanzitutto la praticità, possono essere installate fuori terra, semi-interrate o interrate ed in qualsiasi tipo di terreno; potrebbero addirittura essere evitate opere murarie in caso di stringenti normative comunali. Altro fattore rilevante è la resistenza dell'acciaio agli agenti atmosferici e all’usura quotidiana, ciò assicura durevolezza nel tempo, riducendo i costi di manutenzione e garantendo un investimento a lungo termine. Oltre a tutti questi vantaggi, è importante sottolineare che il prodotto viene installato ‘chiavi in mano’ con la massima cura e professionalità da parte del nostro team specializzato che rilascia la certificazione dell'azienda produttrice attestante la massima qualità ed affidabilità del prodotto installato.
La visione innovativa e cosmopolita dell’azienda iDaminelli di Bergamo apre ad una nuova concezione dell’abitare, dove gli spazi interni convivono in perfetta armonia con gli ambienti esterni, creando un ‘continuum’ di stile ed eleganza.
L’esclusività delle piscine firmate iDaminelli traspare dalla scelta dei materiali, selezionati con cura e certificati, che rendono ciascun pezzo unico ed irripetibile, simbolo di un lifestyle all’insegna del welness e dell’eleganza.
“Dal punto di vista estetico, queste piscine offrono indubbiamente un design moderno e raffinato, integrandosi perfettamente in qualsiasi contesto architettonico e paesaggistico. La possibilità di personalizzare la forma e le dimensioni permette di creare uno spazio su misura per le esigenze specifiche di ogni cliente”, spiega Paolo Daminelli, Co-Manager associated. “Ogni nostra piscina può essere completata con una varietà di optional quali: sistemi di idromassaggio, illuminazione, nuoto controcorrente e riscaldamento acqua per garantire una temperatura ideale in ogni stagione. Integriamo inoltre sistemi di gestione automatica per monitorare i valori dell’acqua, automatizzare la pulizia della vasca e consentire il controllo remoto, offrendo una gestione completa e intelligente dello spazio acquatico”.
La crescente competenza tecnica ha spinto l’azienda bergamasca ad esplorare nuove frontiere nel design e nell'innovazione, in particolare nei settori dei tendaggi e degli accessori per l'arredamento hi-tech degli spazi esterni: tende da sole, vele ombreggianti, pergole bioclimatiche ed inclinate, pensiline, pavimenti e vetrate. Un ampio contenitore di idee che si distingue nel panorama del design e che mira a soddisfare ogni esigenza per vivere gli ambienti in armonia con la natura del luogo.
