Haute couture season just passed. I should've posted this when it was actually happening but I've been lazy. In this post I blab on about Dior's haute couture a/w collection.
I admit I know no more about fashion than the next person but I know what I like and this collection fits my bill. In my mind Dior has always had that aura of femininity and grace which Raf Simmons has successfully implemented in this collection, but I also feel that he has added an "edge" (a word I happen to think is so cringe) to Dior also.
The dress above with the low v'neck and open sides is rather provocative for Dior but not too much to be trashy (although Dior can never really be trashy).
The models are seen clutching their coats in such a way so that they wont expose themselves as they're topless underneath. I think that Raf Simmons did this to give a sense of sensuality and sexiness without losing that lady-like grace.
My favourite look is the one with the white knee length coat with the chiffon sleeves. I could see myself wearing it with just a pair of black jeans and a white tshirt to make it more casual, or wearing it with a black slip dress for more special occasions. Although these imaginations will only stay in my mind since haute couture costs an arm and a leg, and I would not want to lose those thank you very much.
