Before starting work, the designer invited a famous tarot reader to the brand's atelier, who helped her to better understand the meaning and symbols of all cards. So, dresses in the couture collection were named after different characters - the Moon, the Sun, the Empress, and others. The zodiac signs and other mystical characters were reflected in jacquard prints, embroidery, and lace weaving.

Maria Grazia Chiuri unites not only the real and magical worlds but also masculine and feminine silhouettes. She experiments with gender boundaries showing off ultra-feminine dresses and puffy skirts, manly tailored pantsuits, and brutal shoes. The fashion house also created a special film directed by Matteo Garrone to further reveal the concept of the new collection. It tells about the shooting of the new lookbook and demonstrates the multi-level symbolism of the outfits with maximum accuracy.
