CHRISTIAN DIOR FW 14/15 INSPIRATION COUTURE ODYSSEY A few hours ago Raf Simons has presented his autumn-winter 2014/15 haute couture collection in the gardens of the Musée Rodinn Paris... LaGalleria Woman invites you to step into the Dior couture shows venue: The first stage of this odyssey? The 18th century, so dear to Christian Dior, and of which Raf Simons delivered an incredibly contemporary vision. Pannier dresses revisited and lightened with airy tulle petticoats. Pastel colors, cream, celadon green, pale pink, which, due to their delicacy, appear almost white. As the models roamed the runway, and their hands slipped nonchalantly into the pockets of these court dresses 2.0, the splendor of Versailles meshed with a sense of relaxed purity. Taking a light-year leap, we’ve suddenly been projected straight into the 21st century, between past, present and the near future. In the Dior spaceship the outfits boast technical details. Strutting past in zippered and embroidered taffeta pilot suits, are these women couture cosmonauts or elegant ladies dressed for evening? And the voyage continues, exploring the eras with boldness and lightness: court bodices transformed into couture miniskirts, next the splendid justaucorps of an 18th-century marquis which become evening coats, worn simply over black trousers; the garçonne allure of the 1920s, reinterpreted in fringed and embroidered dresses… And of course the Bar jacket, whose iconic architecture Raf Simons revisited by playing with the volumes of the collar. By turns peacoat, jacket or dress, its variations seem to have arisen from a trip through time, from the meeting between the house of Dior’s past and the modern vision of its creative director.
