For the presentation of Dior's Spring-Summer 2024 collection, the artist Isabella Ducrot (Naples, 1931) was invited to create a monumental installation, entitled Big Aura. The work consists of twenty-three dresses, each five meters high, which were produced deliberately disproportionate to the human body.

Let us remember that "aura" refers to that luminous radiation, normally imperceptible and impalpable, that surrounds all beings (humans, animals and plants), like a halo capable of reflecting the soul of the individual. Now, strictly from the point of view of art, according to the thinker Walter Benjamin, the aura is defined as: “the unrepeatable appearance of a distance” and it is applied to everything created by an artist that has not been reproduced, that is unique.
