Raf Simons debut haute couture collection for Dior

As his first collection for the house of Dior, Raf Simons suggests a redefinition of haute couture. For the upcoming fall-winter 2012, Simons knows women are feminine and also see femininity as an attitude. The 2012 woman wants to express herself and get out of the conventionalism of clothes. For example he took the classic Esther dress and gave it a new, more modern look, making it shorter, thigh-length. Women who go to gala no longer only twirl, they want to dance and be alive. He also took the Bar jacked and made it one of most popular items in the show. The jacket reflects Dior’s style, with narrow waist and peplum details accenting the hips. Feminine. Another standout from the runway? Floral embroideries, colored furs, mille-feuilles of multi-hued mesh, duchess satin, and flowers, many flowers. The decoration were walls covered with thousands of flowers and were definite an experience.
