A New Era For Christian Dior

"The hardest thing to realize in fashion is that the future lies in the past. The second hardest thing is to forget the past." Cathy Horyn
Raf Simons just showed his first ever women's collection under the Christian Dior name. The floral idea found its way into the new A/W 2012 Haute Couture collection as Simons known for minimalism used dramatic colour and delicate workmanship to revive Dior’s vision. There is no doubt the clothes were beautiful. It actually reminded me of Jil Sander, Balenciaga and the old Christian Dior. But I just can't help myself. I miss Galliano's Haute Couture, his dramatic and superior craftsmenship, the breathless extravagance... So what do you think about Simons' debut? You can see pictures of the collecion on my Facebook page.  

Raf Simons predviedol svoju prvú kolekciu ako nový kreatívny riaditeľ Dioru. Kvety si našli svoju cestičku do Haute Couture kolekcie na jeseň/zimu 2012, keď návrhár preslávený svojim minimalizmom za pomoci dramatických farieb a delikátneho vypracovania oživil staré tradície. Niet pochýb o tom, že to bola nádherná kolekcia. Trošku mi pripomínala kombináciu Jila Sandera, Balenciagy a Diora z mnohých rokov dozadu. A predsa si nemôžem pomôcť... na Haute Coutute, na ktorý som bola u Diora zvyknutá, mi to prišlo slabé. Chýbala mi Gallianova dráma, extravagancia a prepracovanosť, pri ktorej som ani nedýchala... Ako to vnímate vy? Fotografie celej kolekcie si môžete pozrieť na Facebooku.
