Dior Couture FW2014

Raf Simons has really done it this time, what a beautiful executed collection for Dior couture FW14. Simon was inspired by many centuries, at first we saw inspiration from Maria Antoinette, the models showcased some breathtaking gowns, with exaggerated hemline. We then moved onto the (Edwardian) era with long-line coats and fine tailored pants. 
With a touch of the 20s from the flappish beaded dresses to the groovy 60s with the micro mini skirts. We make our way to the future with sci-fi's broad shouldered dresses to finally back to the present of lighter flawy colourful pieces. Simons took us through a fashionable history class, leaving us in awe.

Dior Fall 2014 Paris Fashion Week

Raf Simons showcased two types of designs for Dior fall 2014. A mixture of tailored coats and jackets in fannel, camel and pinstripe with long gilets for the 'working girl'. But by night we see bigger dresses with flared hemlines and two-tone colours split down the middle. A cross between the 50s & 60s era Simon kept to the brands vibe of that wholesome feminine woman.

Couture For Dior : Spring Summer 2014

Who would've thought Raf Simons would conquer Dior and take it to a new modern look for couture, I guess it's time to let go of John Galliano. 
Back to Simons, for most of the collection we see soft ruffles, romantic sheer and bustier swingy cocktail dresses. The designs were young and free, I can picture a lot these dresses on Jennifer Lawrence.
