Subtle and simple as ever, Raf Simon’s debut collection for Dior in Paris stood true to his signature style that was often displayed at Jil Sander but with hints of archived Dior characteristics. The collection was still relatively simplistic for a couture show but the subtle embellishments and embroidery added a feminine edge and the bright lips and slicked down hair added glamour.

Huge skirts highlighted the cinched waists and the sheer tops added a risque feel to the otherwise ladylike collection. Cigarette pants teamed with killer pointy court shoes rang true to the Parisian setting but the floating full skirts they were teamed with retained the elegant edge.

All in all a pretty stunning debut collection…
