DIOR'S NEW LOOK!!!

All eyes were on Raf Simons as he took the stage to present his first Dior collection. He did not disappoint his audience. He presented an amazing collection with respect to the house's archives. After his exit at Jil Sander, traces of his designs from his former employer morphed into the collection of Dior. For Raf, couture is an expression of idea. It doesn't mean that couture can't be wearable. He targeted a wide range of audience. He focused on Mr. Dior's silhouette from the 50s. The bar jacket which made the late designer famous was modernized for today's women. Most of the short cocktail dresses were paired with trousers. He showcased both Fall and Spring colors in shades of black, red, orange, blush, blueand light pink, and white. I believe his message is that couture should be timeless. He infused his own mark by experimenting in different dye prints in the form of coats, and ball gowns. He accessorized most looks with a steel band belt and strass choker necklaces. This is only the first collection of Raf Simons for Dior. I am sure that his collection will evolve. I can't wait for October when he presents his ready-to-wear collection for the house. Raf Simons is an amazing designer. Alber Elbaz, Marc Jacobs, Donatella Versace, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Azzedine Alaia were present to cheer for the designer.
