# Tarot-Inspired Couture Collections Dior Spring/Summer 2021 Haute Couture Takes Cues from Tarot By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2021-01-26 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-spring-summer-2021-haute-couture References: [designtaxi](https://designtaxi.com/news/412993/Dior-Turns-To-Tarot-Cards-To-Design-Mystical-Magnificent-Spring-Summer-Looks/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+designtaxi_news+%28TAXI+Daily+News%29) The Dior Spring/Summer 2021 Haute Couture showcase called Le Château du Tarot was presented for Paris’ [Haute Couture Week](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026) and for the collection, creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri was inspired by [tarot cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowerlore-collection). The ethereal designs were heavily influenced by one of the oldest surviving tarot decks known, the Visconti-Sforza tarot deck from 15th-century edition from Milan, Italy. The film that accompanies the release of the collection stars a woman who seeks guidance from a tarot reader and her journey through a castle introduces her to many tarot figures. Symbols from the Major Arcana can be seen throughout the collection, as characters embody cards like the Moon, Temperance and Death. Chiuri notes that [Christian Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucky-collection) himself once sought solace from the tarot at a time he was anxious about his missing sister during World War II. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Tarot-inspired Design:** Designers incorporating tarot imagery into their collections and products. - **Fashion Film:** Creation of films or videos showcasing collections and designs to enhance customer engagement. - **Historical Inspiration:** Drawing inspiration from historical artifacts or art to create unique designs and products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion designers using tarot themes to create new collections and expand their brand. - **Film and Video Production:** Production studios creating fashion films or videos to showcase collections and designs. - **Art and Artifacts:** Museums and galleries showcasing artifacts and artworks as inspiration for new designs and collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Annual Summer Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucky-collection.md) - [Clairvoyance-Inspired High-End Makeup Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clairvoyance-makeup.md) - [Tarot-Inspired Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tarotinspired-phone-case.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Intricately Exquisite Beauty Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-dior-summer-2025.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Tarot-Inspired Floral Bouquets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowerlore-collection.md) - [Whimsical Couture Settings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026.md) - [Fashion House Festive Carousels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carousel-of-dreams.md)
