Raf Simons made his highly-anticipated debut for Dior this morning during Paris couture, to an audience that included high-profile faces (Jennifer Lawrence, Dior muse Marion Cotillard, Princess Charlene of Monaco, Natalia Vodianova) and fellow designers (Azzedine Alaia, Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg, Olivier Theyskens, Alber Elbaz, Riccardo Tisci) alike.
For the collection, Simons reinterpreted the codes set forth by the house's founder; a
million flowers, for instance, one of the founder's obsessions, adorned the walls of the five private salons housing the show.
And the finale evening gowns expressed the dichotomy between the old and new:
the backs of the dresses had intricate embroideries, remakes of historical Dior designs, while their fronts had
futuristic reinterpretations by Simons
