Raf Simons draws inspiration from the past to compose the future in this latest autumn/winter 2014/15 haute couture collection from Christian Dior. In the gardens of the Rodin Museum, a wall of orchids forms the floral backdrop for Christian Dior’s fall/winter 2014/15 haute couture collection. Long-haired models, their eyes just highlighted with a line of gold or silver eyeliner, arrive in groups through several doors into a circular space. Raf Simons draws inspiration from the past to compose the future, transposing the 18th to the 21st century. He reinterprets delicately embroidered jackets and coats, with supported waists and rounded hips. Basket dresses in silk jacquard open the show and seem to float on the body. Raf Simons pared down the silhouette as much as possible to leave room for lightness. The future is expressed in embroidered silk jumpsuits. He also revisits wardrobe classics, with ink-blue wool pea jackets worn over straight black wool pants, or through long coats with pleated backs or gigot sleeves. The show closes with a series of pleated dresses in soft shades of almond green, powder pink, Dior gray and ecru, contrasted with electric blue. Couture that doesn’t forget the past and moves forward, intelligently orchestrated by Raf Simons.
