Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall 2012
/The walls were lavishly blanketed in fresh flowers, reportedly, 1M. In the front row, the world's top designers:
Donatella
Versace
, Riccardo
Tisci
, Marc Jacobs,
Alber
Elbaz,
Diane
von
Furstenberg and more, eagerly awaited, in support of their colleague and friend.
In what has been called the most anticipated show of the season, designer
Raf
Simons
did not disappoint.
The runway:
Christian Dior
Haute
Couture Fall 2012.
The big deal:
Raf
Simons's
debut collection for the legendary house. Fashion critics have referred to the couture collection as possessing the "
appropriate balance of reverence and iconoclasm." A fitting, if not perfect, juxtaposition as the modernist designer takes over the iconic label.
