Fashion Show Episode 7: Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2014 Paris
Raf Simons presented his Dior spring summer 2014 collection at the House of Dior in Paris, during the Haute Couture fashion week.
The desses line is full of white and purple color variations, with special much light, fluffy silk material. Some pieces featured include an embroidered, dark-ink blue silk dress and a blue wool "Bar" jacket. Christian Dior created the term "Bar" to apply to clothing meant for a late-afternoon cocktail hour in upscale bars. Simons turned his attention to the sack dress, the loose, chemise-style sheath with a gathered cape back that the mason launched in the 1950s.
Confining himself mainly to a colour palatte of navy, ivory and some sugar almond pastels, Simons's preferred surface embellishment was of the lasered, textured and tone-on-tone embroidered variety rather than the rhinestone kind.
The makeup was simple and nude, with only the lips emphasized in vivid red.
Elisabeth Erm had the honor of closing the show, wearing a navy blue jumpsuit with pink embroidered flowers.
