Raf Simons’s couture show for Dior, presented in Paris on Monday, featured
sexy off-the-shoulder dresses, draped fabrics, and music from
Yeezus.
Women of the world, or more
specifically women from the world of couture, were Raf Simons’s inspiration for his Fall 2013/Winter 2014 Dior
collection presented in Paris early Monday.
For his American client he included a bold sportiness, an Asian influence was
evident in the construction of garments and high-tech fabrics, and Africa was
his reference for playfulness and color. But for Europe, he looked to La
Parisienne—a nod to the history of the house. Couture might not have a
commercial reality, but Simons did what every good designer should do: he
thought of his customer first.
All this translated into quite the modern wardrobe, sending traditional
theatrics and costumes out the window. Instead, this was fresh and quite sexy:
dresses were off the shoulder, fabric was draped and clung to the body, skirts
were split, and sheer panels were used—all wrapped up in a nice ladylike Dior
package, of course.
“My main aim is to bring a sense
of reality back to haute couture,” Simons said in the media release. “This collection is about
focusing on the reality of the woman herself, including her culture and
personality; it is not the reality of just wearing the clothes but how a woman
chooses to wear them; the liberation of choice and reflecting who she actually
is.”

There was one person missing from the show...... Jourdan Dunn was fired,due to her boobs. Here is what she wrote on her Twitter account:
I'm not sure what's wrong with her boobs. Maybe the problem is that she actually have them. She is a beautiful woman, check her pictures and tell me what do you think:
Lots of Love

I agree with you Kyra. Theay are asking models to be only skin and bones, which does not look healthy

Deletethese pieces are amazing, however im not sure whats more sad: the fact the she was fired for boobs, or the fact that in this modern day models are fired for being colored.
ReplyDeletestyle n love, jamaica
Dania
both situations are really sad, because we are only humans. And colour shouldn't make us to be better or worse.
DeleteWhat a cool collection! I really like the neat cuts of the fabric~
