Karlie Kloss arrived in Mumbai for Dior’s pre-fall 2023 runway show held at the Gateway of India monument on Thursday. The supermodel chose a classic style for the event.
Kloss wore a full Dior look, including an embroidered wool jacket with a silk shirt and a wool skirt, with heels and a Lady Dior bag — all in black.
WWD described Dior’s pre-fall 2023 collection as a tribute to the crafts and artisans of India. For the collection, Dior collaborated with Karishma Swali, who directs the Chanakya ateliers and the Chanakya School of Craft in Mumbai.
