Chiara Ferragni wears Dior dress with Claire Fontaine slogan at Sanremo
At the 73rd Sanremo Music Festival, influencer Chiara Ferragni wore a Dior gown paired with a stole embroidered with 'Pensati libera' (Think Free), a phrase from a work by the artistic duo Claire Fontaine. Ferragni stated on Instagram that the outfit aimed to convey a social message, developed in collaboration with Dior artistic director Maria Grazia Chiuri and Claire Fontaine members Rachele Regini and Fulvia Carnevale. The phrase originated from a wall mural seen after a women's march in Genoa, created by street artist Cicatrici Nere, who accused Claire Fontaine of plagiarism. Claire Fontaine, founded in 2004 in Paris and now based in Palermo by James Thornhill and Fulvia Carnevale, previously collaborated with Dior on the set for the Fall-Winter 2020-2021 Prêt-à-Porter show.
