Couture Fall 2012: Raf Simon's First Collection For Dior

The fashion world awaited with baited breath for Raf Simon's first collection as the new designer for the iconic brand Christian Dior. Since being appointed as the new designer after the dismissal of John Galliano, all eyes were on the runway and Mr. Simon's did not disappoint.Grabbing inspiration from the classic Dior of the 1940's, Simon's created stunning dresses cinched at the waist with full skirts, tuxedo jackets, A-line mini peplum dresses paired with cigarette pants and of course breath taking evening dresses. Pointed heels in a variety of colours some capped other not completed the looks and very minimal accessories were used.

What I love about this collection is that each piece is wearable. The A-line mini dress with pants looks amazing. How many times have you gone to a store and fell in love with a dress that was way to short. I have! Countless times! Now I just buy it and wear it with tights! But the A-line minis with pants looks divine! I fell in love! I'm so glad that Peplum is here to stay, for awhile. It's such a feminine look and it just adds fun to any outfit.
