We all remember the chase to replace Galliano at Dior. It seemed as if every major designer was
being considered, with Marc Jacobs at the forefront. But then Raf Simons was named, and while
tears were shed upon his departure at Jil Sander, we sat on dress pins and
needles waiting to see what he would come up with at the couture castle that is
Dior. Would the designer be able to
bring a fresh perspective to an already iconic house. And with his first haute couture showing I am
happy to say that he not only brought it, he slaaaaayed it! In front of a jury of his peers (many
including Jacobs, who came out in support) he showed a classic, young
collection of clothes. If I could post
every pic I would, it's that good. What
it lacked in flourish it made up for in structure. Simple coats became so much more with an
added peplum and strategically placed pockets.
There was a red dress coat that just stopped my heart! Yes Raf, Dior is in good hands. See more of
the fresh on style.com.
XOXO
