The fashion world waited on pins and needles (pun intended) to see what would become of the house of Dior. Belgium designer Raf Simons pleased the masses with a delightful modern approach to couture.
As vintage lovers, we cheer on his return to classic silhouettes. The collection was very much influenced by the early designs of Christian Dior, but definitely reflect Mr. Simons’ aesthetic as well.
Not a season goes by that designers don’t reference vintage silhouettes, trims, and patterns (many times sourced from us!) but what makes this collection so special is that it’s more of a marriage than a mirroring. The silhouette of a 1950′s circle skirt was given a second life as a peplum blouse paired with cigarette pants- genius!
Pictured above is our lifetime Christian Dior tweed suit circa 1955 that may have inspired Simons’ tweed pieces, like the one pictured on the right. We love them both! Love triangle, anyone?
