Hi All,
Raf Simons is doing some wonderful stuff at DIOR. I love his finishes and treatments. He has reinvented the crinoline, interesting sleeves like seed pods for balsam, mini skirts with cool shape-seams and scalloped edges. Coats, gowns, palazzo pants and wide belts. I love the looks and the colours. Here is a 4 minute video of the shows highlights.
Enjoy,

This video is so inspiring,
Starting with the crinoline thing…I recently went to the Fashion Museum in Bath, and there were the same mantua outfits, to be worn at court.
I love the scalloped edges too, and boots worn with chiffon.
And those long coats…
Time to get the sewing machine out!

It’s the crazy good stuff this season JackieB. Fashion is starting to look wearable and lovely again. Very happy camper here.

Thanks for posting this. It has been a while since I’ve seen a collection as much as I loved this one. I don’t think I’d look good in many of these. If I lived somewhere that I actually needed a winter coat, I think I would save all my pennies for one of these beauties. Any one of them. The detailing is amazing. I love the way the fabric drapes and flows despite all the embellishment. Or perhaps it is because of all the embellishment. I would love to be employed in one of the workrooms, to be able to create the beautiful embroidery and bead work.

P.S. I also love how Peter Philips creates such modern makeup looks to coordinate with the clothing. Huge win for Dior for wooing him over from Chanel.
