It is finished! Raf Simons presented his debut collection as head of the legendary fashion house Christian Dior. Premiere screening of the designer was to Fashion Week in Paris, where guests of the show was approved and colleagues designer.

First of all, Simons was able to make incredible - enter its minimalist aesthetic style house Dior, which is known for its royal splendor. The designer has created a very feminine collection with strong silhouettes and inherent elegance fashionable home, but at the same time very modern:

I have created a clothing as long tradition of the house Dior, but more energetic.

The new collection is very diverse, but in spite of the difference of silhouettes, materials and colors, it gives the impression of whole ensemble. The collection includes classic suits and dresses, tweed cases restrained colors, with a slight touch of retro, but timeless ...

... Lush dresses in the style of the 50s and elegant evening dresses with long skirts, decorated with three-dimensional flower buds and thousands of twinkling crystals ...

... Clothes, which became the main decoration watercolor prints (which will be in favor for several future seasons) - from the most insane transitions from red to green to subtle gradations of delicate shades of pink and beige ...

... Luxury bustier dress and costumes of mink and astrakhan ...

... And original ensemble of classic black trousers with arrows and elongated tops, dresses with a slit in the middle, as well as strapless tops with a variety of floral prints.

Generally flowers became the main theme of the show - just for decoration decorations were brought around 3 million. Living roses, orchids and peonies of different colors. So it is safe to say that on the design of scenery for his debut show Simons has not stinted.

Like clothes, jewelry collection was created to show the contrast - pearls, not only in the form of classical strings, and as a volumetric structure in a futuristic style.

On the same principle were made of stone decorations - in the form of bulk short necklace.

In my humble opinion, Raf Simons was able to meet the expectations regarding the new collection of Dior. Of course, his works are nothing like the creations of John Galliano, whose work excites and few people leave indifferent, but now it's just a story. Simons managed to breathe new life into the creation Dior, without sacrificing the classic style of the fashion house, which was created decades. In addition, the work of the talented Belgian suitable for everyday life, and it is very rare for collections haute couture.

Debut Simons did not leave indifferent and his colleagues. Alber Elbaz collection called "poetic" and described the show as "a beautiful wedding and fashion designer fashion." And Diane von Furstenberg said only «Very Dior!» - The words that have become the best compliment for Simons.
