Raf Simons, the creative director of Dior (replacing Galliano) has recently showcased the Haute Couture collection for Fall 2012. Little birdies all over social media have been buzzing about how much of a success it is. From the fashion show decor, down to the clothes itself. It’s said that the show was held in a private house on Avenue d’Iena in the tony 11th arrondissement of Paris France. More than 1 million flowers where used to decorate the walls; red roses, blue delphiniums, yellow golden rods, and pink roses. I bet it smelled amazing in there! Anyway, the show went off without a hitch and got some great reviews from critics. I myself saw the show online and thought Raf Simons captured the essence of Dior nicely while still expressing his vision for the brand. I knew he would do well; it’s just that everyone was so in love with Galliano’s style that they kind of put the pressure on Raf. He gave Dior a modern twist, just like Nina Garcia, editor of Elle Magazine said. The ambiance and the color palette melded together in a harmony of decadence and classiness.  His Fall collection for Dior made the fashion industry go “Galliano who?”

It was the season for change with Dior. Fate happened to where the brand was forced to take action and introduce a new legacy of Dior fashion. I look forward to see what Raf Simons has in store for the future of Dior.
