This is the second year Raf Simons is a creative director at
Christian Dior.
The new breathtaking collection showed how the silhouettes of the past can look fresh all over again. Designs that Christian Dior launched in 1950s were introduced again on the runway.
The
attention of the Spring/Summer 2014 collection is about
really loose look, sack
dresses and gathered cape
back, the silhouettes were mainly A-line and the
color palette primarily consists of navy, ivory and some sugar
almond pastels.
A lot of designers believe that couture should feel modern
nowadays— without sacrificing the craft and quality essential to the genre. Raf
Simons by this collection showed himself as true modernist. And he is a true
modernist in the heart! Christian Dior collection in the program was described
as “a blend of white angular modernism and biomorphism echoing the female form”.
The tone-on-tone graphics in white, black and navy looked
lovely, and particularly fresh in white. Cases in point: the show opener, an
asymmetric A-line affair that countered circles on top with horizontal pleats
on the bottom; a strapless wisp of a dress done up with feathers and a half-hem
flounce.
