Maria Grazia Chiuri's latest collection offered commentary on the climate emergency. 

On Tuesday, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/maria-grazia-chiuri-christian-dior-haute-couture-fall-2018">Maria Grazia Chiur</a>i presented her Spring 2020 collection for Dior, transforming the heart of Hippodrome de Longchamps&nbsp;into an ecological botanical garden on the outskirts of Paris.&nbsp;For the show, Chiuri worked with Coloco, a Paris-based environmental design company in part of her&nbsp;overall effort this season to sensitize the fashion sphere to the climate emergency.

Chiuri is not alone in having an environmental element in&nbsp;her show&mdash;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/marine-serre-climate-apocalypse-runway-2019">Marine Serre</a>&#39;s Paris <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/categories/fashion-week">Fashion Week</a> collection, which she titled&nbsp;Mar&eacute;e Noire,&nbsp;or &quot;Oil Spill&quot;, presented a range of apocalyptic uniforms with climate undertones. Serre and Chiuri both presented&nbsp;just one day after&nbsp;Greta Thunberg delivered her&nbsp;powerful speech to the U.N. as part of&nbsp;Climate Week in New York City, helping to bring the environmental sentiments across the Atlantic and into an <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/fashion-pact-climate-change-2019">industry</a> that&#39;s grappling with how to lessen its footprint. See five highlights from the show below.

Over 150 trees were present around the&nbsp;venue.&nbsp;After the show, the trees are headed to three different destinations on the outskirts of Paris. Guests&nbsp;including up-and-coming actress&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/sophia-lillis-dior-interview-2019">Sophia Lillis</a>&nbsp;spent their pre-show moments exploring the makeshift forest and even had the opportunity to scan a QR code on the labels of each tree to find out where it would be replanted.&nbsp;

Unveiling a couture botanical wardrobe, the designer imagined outfits of gardeners upgraded delicate details embroidered, redefining the codes of the house. The influence? Photographs depicting&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficiel.be/mode/dior-ouvre-une-boutique-exceptionnelle-sur-les-champs-elysees" target="_blank">Christian Dior&#39;s</a> sister Catherine, AKA <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/natalie-portman-the-face-of-miss-dior-perfume">Miss Dior</a>,&nbsp;in her garden among the flowers. In addition to having a passion for literal gardening, the stylish muse flourished as a free, independent woman.

The culmination of this show is a maximalist interpretation of &quot;rustic&quot;:&nbsp;an evening dress made entirely of straw. The material was also available on hats, or more subtly on the ever-trendy logo sneakers.

While tie-dye made a noticeable comeback in the dressage of fashionistas last summer, it seems that the trend is continuing on to&nbsp;next summer. The colorful technique&nbsp;brought an air of summery sustainability to&nbsp;denim, evening dresses, and jumpsuits.

Available in a tied version or with&nbsp;espadrille soles, the sandals were the stars of this show. Sitting next to a slew of calibrated accessories, they came to sublimate the evening dresses, overalls, and other combinations.
