For Dior’s Fall/Winter ready-to-wear collection, creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri drew on the brand’s longstanding heritage as well as iconic pieces from the annals of fashion history, though her primary inspiration came from the androgenous title character of Virginia Woolf’s novel Orlando. Take the embroidered dress seen here, which features a modern version of an Elizabethan ruff collar. With runway looks sporting wearable layers in velvet and brocade, such Gothic-leaning styles are perfect for the darker days of fall that lie ahead. Price upon request. At CityCenterDC. dior.com
