Christian Dior, Haute Couture spring-summer 2016
One of the most anticipated moments of this appointment with Haute Couture was, without a doubt, the Dior show. The maison was facing its first show after the unexpected march of Raf Simons after a successful career as a creative director. We will not yet know his successor (at Dior they take things slowly, the rush does not go with their style), so this collection is signed by the design team, led by Serge Ruffieux and Lucie Meier.
The staging was at the height of what the firm has accustomed us to, with a show created by Alexandre de Betak, which filled the mirrors Rodin museum gardens for the occasion. Due to the circumstances, the collection is proposed as a proposal for continuity, in which risk is lacking and some of the vestiges of the style imposed by Raf Simons can still be seen.
Mix of textures and materials, asymmetries, shoulders in the air, crystal applications, transparencies, velvet details, sequins, Animal Print, pictorial prints and black and white as the main colors. As star footwear, the ballerinas with a bow tied to the ankle.
