Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Runway Collections and Shows[edit]

Christian Dior SE also known as Dior is a luxury goods company that was founded in 1946 by the eponymous designer. Dior is part of Groupe Arnault SAS. Dior presents its women’s ready-to wear collection semiannually during Paris Fashion Week. The house’s creative directors have included Cristian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferre, John Galliano, Bill Gaytten, Raf Simons, and Maria Grazia Chiuri.[5][6][7]

The Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear collection is showcased biannually for spring-summer and autumn-winter seasons during Paris Fashion Week to an audience of media, retailers, buyers, investors, and customers, under the auspices of the Chambre Syndicale du Prêt-à-Porter des Couturiers et des Créateurs de Mode, which is one of three trade associations affiliated with the Fédération française de la couture, du prêt-à-porter des couturiers et des créateurs de mode.[8][9]

Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Spring 2012 Runway Show[edit]

The Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Spring 2012 Runway Show was presented on September 29, 2011[10] under the direction of Bill Gaytten[11] at a tented Musee Rodin. It was the only second collection since John Galliano’s dismissal from the house.[12] The ladylike silhouettes[13] referenced the Dior archives. According to Style.com, haute couture was a major influence on the collection[14] with wider necklines, wrapped bodices, bubble skirts, and bar jackets in gazaar, organza, silk, and tulle. The palette ranged from graphic black and white to softer pale pink and blue with pops of red.[15] Design details included chevron pleats, v-necks, and ribbons.[16] Described by Vogue UK as demure, proper, and understated, the collection evoked a fifties glamour.[17] Make-up artist Pat McGrath created a look that she told Allure was “all about a classic, beautiful red lip, done in a modern way.” Hair stylist Orlando Pita rolled the hair up in back with a clean side part.

Karolina Kurkova opened the runway show of 47 looks. Toni Garrn, Karmen Pedaru, Liu Wen, Yulia Kharlapanova, Joan Smalls, Nimue Smit, Anna Zasada, Ruby Aldridge, Zuzanna Bijoch, Nyasha Matonhodze, Kasia Struss, Haile Clauson, Olga Sherer, Shu Pei Qin, Ajak Deng, Siri Tollerod, Anais Pouliot, Maryna Linchuk, Martha Streck, Vlada Roslyakova, Jourdan Dunn, Anna Selezneva, Alla Kostroromichova, Lee Hye Jung, Fei Fei Sun, Juju Ivanyuk, Maud Welzen, Melissa Tammerjin, Arizona Muse, Josephine Skriver, and Miranda Kerr were amongst the models who also walked the show. Karlie Kloss closed the presentation.[18]

Poppy Delevingne, Anna Dello Russo, Chen Ran, Princess Siriwanwaree of Thailand, Sarah Ruston, Laure Shang, Ulyana Sergeenko, Marisa Berenson, Carine Roitfeld, Antoine Arnault, Linda Fargo, Stefano Tonchi, Giovanna Battaglia, Rachel Zoe, Caroline Issa, Catherine Baba, Dasha Zhukova,  Leigh Lezark, Leighton Meester, Olivia Palermo, Orlando Bloom, Sidney Toledano, Cathy Horyn, Ronnie Cooke-Newhouse, Jonathan Newhouse, Patrick Demarchelier, Tim Blanks, and Dirk Standen attended the show and were photographed on the front row.[19]

"I thought it was really pretty, wonderful light eveningwear—it was a great leap forward from the couture show, particularly with the light treatment of lace and chiffon," said Lucinda Chambers afterwards. "I could see it all on the red carpet."[20]

Former Fashion & Beauty Director at Harrods Marigay McKay[21] noted “Everybody’s been discussing the merits of not having a creative director that is a name or anything behind the house... I would call it sensual modernity. Those transparencies were very sexy, but then the styles were very safe—so that juxtaposition between the transparencies and the shape, but the length of the skirt to the knee. You know there was nothing daring there, other than the fabrics.”[22]

Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Fall 2012 Runway Show[edit]

The Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Fall 2012 Runway Show was presented on March 1, 2012. The collection’s theme was “soft modernity,” evoking Christian Dior’s New Look.[23] The collection debuted amid rumors that Creative Director Bill Gaytten, who after working alongside John Galliano for 17 years and succeeding his predecessor’s scandalous exit one year prior, would soon be replaced by Haider Ackerman or Raf Simons.[24] The silhouette focused on a cinched waist with fuller skirts and peplum jackets.[25]

A prominent theme was the juxtaposition of soft and hard. Dichotic influences paired masculine tailoring with ballet femininity. Draped leather separates gave an edgier appeal to midi-length tutu skirts. The palette included red, wine, mauve, teal, pink, burgundy,[26] grey, and blue. Design details included color-blocking, embroideries, and embellishments.[27]

Aymeline Valade opened the runway show of 56 looks. Kati Nescher, Jourdan Dunn, Nimue Smit, Erjona Ala, Caroline Brasch Nielsen, Kasia Struss, Daria Strokous, Sigrid Agren, Marte Mei van Haaster, Ruby Aldridge, Toni Garrn, Liu Wen, Olga Sherer, Andie Arthur, Shu Pei Qin, Lily Donaldson, Juju Ivanyuk, Zuzanna Bijoch, Karmen Pedaru, Vanessa Axente, Yulia Kharlapanova, Suvi Koponen, Josephine Skriver, Nadja Bender, Andreea Diaconu, Montana Cox, Alana Zimmer, Hedvig Maigre, Sui He, Carolina Thaler, Constance Jablonski, Anais Pouliot, Michaela Kocianova, Heidi Mount, Lindsey Wixson, Melissa Tammerjin, and Joan Smalls were amongst the models who also walked the show.

“He's doing a really good job. I thought it was ravishing, such lovely colors—the Dior customer would be very happy," said Vogue's Lucinda Chambers, noting it to be very pared down but very feminine. "It was really polished, but gentle."[30]

Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Spring 2013 Runway Show[edit]

The Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Spring 2013 Runway Show was presented on September 27, 2012[31] at the Hotel National des Invalides. It was Creative Director Raf Simons’s debut ready-to-wear collection for the house,[32] which he joined in April 2012.[33] According to the program notes, Simons’s fourteen-minute presentation[34] was inspired by freedom and liberation. The concept harkens back to Dior’s mission to free women from wartime style.[35]

"He embraced the feminine, the complex and the emotional; an idea of freedom and what had gone before," read the notes. Merging his aesthetic with the heritage house,[36] Simons reconstructed the Dior’s classic hourglass silhouette.[37] For daytime, the hemlines remained short, but ankle-length for evening. Prominent silhouettes were architectural and featured fitted blazer, strapless dresses, and balloon skirts. This season’s palette included black, ivory, charcoal, red, fuchsia, orange, and yellow. Fabrications used ranged from wool and organdy to tulle, silk, and satin.[38]

Daria Strokous opened the runway show of 53 looks to David Bowie-filled runway soundrack. Sigrid Agren, Bette Franke, Sasha Luss, Kati Nescher, Daiane Conterato, Marie Piovesan, Suvi Koponen, Fei Fei Sun, Caroline Brasch Nielsen, Marte Mei van Haaster, Agne Konciute, Marine Deleeuw, Ming Xi, Magdalena Frackowiak, Magda Lagoon, Andie Arthur, Elena Bartels, Tilda Lindstam, Yumi Lambert, Kasia Struss, Patrycja Gardygajlo, Zuzanna Bijoch, Antonina Vasylchenko, Aleksandra Marczyk, Vanessa Axente, Vlada Roslyakova, Hanne Gaby Odiele, Yulia Serzhantova, Nicole Pollard, and Nastya Kusakina were amongst the models who also walked the show.Alexandra Martynova closed the presentation.

Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Fall 2013 Runway Show[edit]

The Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Fall 2013 Runway Show was presented on February 28, 2013. For his sophomore collection, Creative Director Raf Simons was inspired by art for this collection, specifically Andy Warhol’s early works. Warhol’s spidery, graphic drawings were reinterpreted on embroidered dresses and embossed bags.[40]

According to the program notes, the show was inspired by the creative director’s and the founder’s mutual interest in art. Dior began in art galleries representing Dali and Giacometti. And while Dior was obsessed with Belle Epoque, Simons focused on mid-century artists.[41]

“For me Warhol made so much sense,” explained Simons in the notes. “ I was interested in the delicacy and sensitivity in the early work he did, I was drawn to that graphic style naturally in this collection. It was that notion of hand work and personal signature that fitted throughout.”[42]

Laurie Anderson provided the runway soundtrack.[43] The tented runway was presented at Les Invalides.[44] The setting included enormous mirrored spheres, which reflected a runway that had been painted with blue skies and white clouds.[45]

Carolina Sjostrand opened the runway show of 47 looks. Sasha Loss, Diana Moldovan, Jesse Brown, Tilda Lindstam, Fei Fei Sun, Kinga Rajzak, Kati Nescher, Kel Markey, Amanda Murphy, Manon Leloup, Anastasia Ivanova, Ashleigh Good, Antonina Vasylchenko, Anne Catherine Lacroix, Mackenzie Drazan, Catherine McNeil, Elise Crombez, Anabela Belikova, Bette Franke, Nikola Romanova, Nicole Pollard, Chiharu Okunugi, Anouck Lepere, Zuzanna Bijoch, Kasia Struss, Elizabeth Erm, Marta Dyks, Fia Ljunstrom, Tessa Bennenbroek, and Isis Bataglia, were amongst the models who also walked the show. Janice Alida closed the presentation.[46]

Sidney Toledano, Mélanie Laurent, Marion Cotillard, Natalia Vodianova, Antoine Arnault, Frank Ocean, Thomas Lenthal, Victoire de Castellane, Princess Siriwanwaree of Thailand, Ana Giradot, Peter Marino, Tallulah Harlech, Celine Sallette, James Goldstein, Chelsea Anna Tallarico, Jon Foster, Carine Roitfeld, Shu Pei Qin, Franca Sozzani, Robert Rabensteiner, Anna Dello Russo, Marie-Josee Croze, Shala Monroque, Giovanna Battaglia, Olivia Palermo, Ulyana Sergeenko, Chitrangda Singh, Chiara Ferragni, Alexandra Golovanoff, and Angela Yeung Wing attended the show.[47]

“It’s quite surrealistic, innovative, what I saw is a lot fantatsy and artistic element,” noted Natalia Vodianova “And that’s Raf has plenty to say there; he’s an artist. He really surprises you everytime.”[48]

“I love the knitwear the most. Maybe because I never saw it on a Dior catwalk,” observed Giavanna Battaglia. “The black and white, cable-knit, yes, I like the skirt. I thought it was chic… “It’s a new Lady Dior. She’s also a contemporary women. You can’t all the time be on high heels. Sometimes you want to be in flats. It’s not just about being fabulous, just about being what you feel real.”[49]

“The collection is completely not defined by one silhouette or one material or one coloration,” explained Simons. “It’s a lot of juxtaposition between things that are very much in contrast as well. Something very surreal with something very real. Something very soft and very romantic and dreamy with something that can be harder sometimes… I was interested in having a collection which speaks a lot about feelings and emotions, whether if it’s like happiness or sadness. Things related to reality or things related to dreams and I thought about approaching it almost like a personal scrapbook. The reason why I think I want to go there now is to have more dialogue, you know, like let’s talk about what we see and what we feel.”[50]

Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Spring 2014 Runway Show[edit]

The Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Spring 2014 Runway Show was presented on September 26, 2013[51] at a tented Musee Rodin. The Creative Director staged his presentation against the backdrop of a garden landscape.[52] According to the program notes, the collection referred to as “Trans-Dior” was a cross-section of Christian Dior and Raf Simons,[53] where Dior’s New Look silhouette would be transformed.[54] Featured silhouettes included floral pleated dresses, tailored shorts, deconstructed shirts, diaphonous t- shirts, and curved peplum jackets. Many of the pieces were embroidered with slogans, "hyperrealness in the daytime,"[55] "Alice Garden," and "Primrose path."[56] Hemlines fell just at or below the knee. The palette was black, brown, blue, pink, orange, yellow, and white, with floral patterns throughout. This seaon’s fabrications ranged from brocade, jacquard, wool, and organza to cotton, jersey, silk, and tulle with sequin and crystal embellishments.[57]

Daria Strokous opened the runway show of 76 looks. Sasha Luss, Francoska Gall, Anabela Belikova, Estella Brons, Vasilisa Pavlova, Milan Kruz, Anastasia Ivanova, Manon Leloup, Anmari Botha, Kaitlin Aas, Elodia, Prieto, Diana Moldovan, Julia Nobis, Josepehine Le Tutour, Carolina Sjostrand,Chiharu Okunugi, Kasia Struss, Simone Carvalho, Larissa Hofmann, Daiane Conterato, Fei Fei Sun, Marine Deleeuw, Devon Windsor, Nicole Pollard, Alana Zimmer, Olga Timokhina, Irina Liss, Georgia Taylor, Ieva Palionyte, Gabriele Regesaite, Magdalena Langrova, Anna Martynova, Maartje Verhoef, Marije Kea, and Mariana Santana were amongst the models who also walked the show.[58]

Natalia Vodianova, Marisa Berenson, Olga Kurylenko, Leigh Lazark, Ilona Smet, Isabelle Huppert, Jonathan Newhouse, Ronnie Newhouse, Alexandra Richards, Eva Riccobono, Elisa Nalin, Garance Doré, Alexandra Golovanoff, Virginie Mouzat, Michel Denisot, Giovanna Battaglia, Gaia Repossi, Lucie de la Falaise, Franca Sozzani, Olympia Scarry, Peter Brant Jr., Hannah O’Neill, Christina Pitanguy, Anna Dello Russo, Lou de Laâge, Ni Ni, Elizabeth von Guttman, Miroslava Duma, Ulyana Sergeenko, Princess Siriwanwaree of Thailand, Frédéric Mitterrand, Angelababy, and James Goldstein attended the show.[59]

“It’s about ‘Les Femmes Fleurs’ and it’s about nature and gardens, but the big difference, I think, is that how he perceived that and translated that,” explained Simons to Now Fashion post-show. “I see it now evolving to also something very different, a very different form language, a very different attitude, more modernity, more futurism, but still with the same kind of principles, still with the romance, and still with the softness and still with the movement in all kinds of femininity. So in that sense it’s the same.”[60]

“It make very modern, a shape that we know, like it’s a Dior, but he made it completely twisted in his way with a lot of even humor, because he mixed the colors in a different way,” noted Franca Sozzani.[61]

“What I wanted to do with the show was take the literal DNA of the house ‘Les Femmes Fleurs’ gardens, beauty, but I wanted to have the aesthetic difference, even if the psychology was exactly the same” explained Simons. “I think with this collection, I didn’t really want to specifically split up the idea of the aesthetic related to one culture. I think in that sense it’s more abstracted for me, and that is what I think about how he looked at it, rather simple or rather pure, but kind of a global message to women—wherever they come from, whomever they are. I don’t want to take one theme. It doesn’t feel right for me, because I don’t want that people can only perceive it in one way.”[62]

“It’s a mixture of very sort of vigueur and feminine,” observed Marisa Berenson. “He’s very linear. He has sort of structure, but you know, interesting shapes, interesting melange of fabrics. I think he’s a very modern man.”[63]

Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Fall 2014 Runway Show[edit]

The Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Fall 2014 Runway Show was presented on February 27, 2014.[64] This season was a luxurious intepretation of sportswear[65] with masculinely tailored garments that didn’t sacrifice feminity. Hemlines varied from knee to floor-length. Silhouettes included double-breasted jackets, oversized coats, slim pants,[66] asymmetrical skirts, and double dresses.[67] The color story featured black, midnight blue, cobalt, navy, pink, red, burgundy, green, yellow, camel, blue, and ivory. Fabrications ranged from cashmere, cotton, knitwear, wool, and flannel to leather, astrakhan, silk, satin, and nylon adorned with Swarovski crystals.[68]

Kinga Rajzak opened the runway show of 55 looks. Mariacarla Boscono, Daiane Conterato, Kaitlin Aas, Ophelie Guillermand, Sasha Luss, Daria Strokous, Julia Nobis, Valery Kaufman, Isis Bataglia, Sung Hee, Milana Kruz, Jessica Bergs, Kati Nescher, Anna Ewers, Ginta Lapina, Taya Ermoshkina, Diana Moldovan, Valeriya Makarova, Waleska Gorczevski, Lexi Boling, Marine Deleeuw, Fei Fei Sun, Tilda Lindstam, Kia Low, Francoska Gall, Kristina Petrosiute, and Manuela Frey were amongst the models who also walked the show. Jamie Bochert closed the presentation.[69]

Rihanna, Jessica Alba, Eva Herzigova, Emma Roberts, Marisa Berenson, Ruth Wilson, Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana, Gaia Repossi, Kris Van Assche, Delfina Delettrez, Patrick Demarchelier, Anna Dello Russo, Garance Doré, Miroslava Duma, Laure Hériard Dubreuil, Susie Lau, Alexia Niedzielski, and Alexandra Golovanoff attended the show.[70]

“When you take a position at a heritage house, you also think about your whole situation and your own position,” Simons told WWD before the show. “What you stand for, what you believe in and what you express naturally and how you can add that to the world you’re representing.”[71]

“Some of the shapes remind me of the shapes of Dior, but in such a modern way, such a good attitude,” observed Franca Sozzani. “And even so cool—the girls, their makeup on their eyes, their very straight hair.”[72]

“I think as much as you are so attracted to something, as much as you are respectful so something, you kind of also, have to not attack it, but you also have to change it,” explained Simons post-show. “I think you have to keep something which is very honest, whilst the intentions from the original founders, then I also have to place it in today’s reality. Reality is not always so glamorous. So it’s nothing to do with rejecting something. It’s really like adding and offering possibilites. I know where I am, but I also never forget where I came from—so I think that it’s not possible for me to design without always fusing those two quite different worlds. I think I just do what I have to do.”[73]

Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Spring 2015 Runway Show[edit]

The Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Spring 2015 Runway Show was presented on September 26, 2014 in a mirrored tent at the Louvre’s Cour Carrée. Vogue described the set as referencing the world of 2001: A Space Odyssey.[74] WWD noted the disparate elements as a street to stratosphere collection[75] merging Eighteenth Century French royal court silhouettes with more futuristic[76] science-fiction fabrications. Featured silhouettes varied from slim pants, a-line skirts, tailored jackets, bombers, fitted sheaths, and maxi dresses. The hemlines fell both above and below knee. This season’s color story included white, black, brown, navy, green, pink, acid yellow, fuchsia, and orange. The materials ranged from tech fabrics, leather, wool, cotton, knit, linen, silk, satin, and jersey. Design details took an architectural approach with floral embroideries, quilting, and structured knits.[77]

Lis van Velthoven opened the runway show of 50 looks. Karolin Wolter, Julia Nobis, Yumi Lambert, Fei Fei Sun, Daiane Conterato, Alexandra Elizabeth, Yulia Musieichuk, Sunniva Wahl, Georgia Hilmer, Molly Bair, Ine Neefs, Leila Nda, Taya Ermoshkina, Serena Archetti, Irina Liss, Daria Strokous, Julia Hafstrom, Anka Kuryndina, Vasilisa Pavlova, Anika Cholewa, Eliza Hartmann, Maarte Verhoef, Flo Kosky, Marie Piovesan, Mica Arganaraz, Natalie Westling, Harleth Kuusik, Maja Salamon, Josepehine van Delden, Elena Peter, Ondria Hardin, and Malaika Firth were amongst the models who also walked the show. Waleska Gorczevski closed the presentation.[78]

Dakota Fanning, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, Li Bingbing, Marion Cotillard, Natalie Dormer, Coco Rocha, Erin O’Connor, Bernard Arnault, Kris Van Assche, Azzedine Alaïa, Carla Sozzani, Delphine Arnault, Gaia Repossi, Alexia Niedzielski, Mademoiselle Yulia, Olivia Palermo, Camille Rowe, Katia Toledano, Sidney Toledano, Victoirede Castellane, Olympia Scarry, Aymeline Valade, Hanneli Mustaparta, Shala Monroque, Sofia Sanchez de Betak, Anna Dello Russo, Miroslava Duma, Ísis Valvarde, Ginerva Elkann, Harley Viera-Newton, Paolo de Orleans e Bragança, Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis, Claudia Kim, Giovanna Meneghel, Kristina Bazan, Christina Pitanguy, Lala Rudge, Emma Miller, and Natalia Alaverdian attended the show.[79]

“I like very much this juxtaposition between something which is very historical and which can become very heavy in terms of materialization and in terms of printing, and something very clean and simple and very summery,” explained Simons post-show. “Some looks I approached very abstract like the first outcomes. I think they are like very simple modern looks and there was a suggestion of the past purely by adding a certaain fabric. And then further in the show it’s also, of course, very much linked to the way things were constructed in the past. Christian Dior was a very architectural designer. So I thought we had already worked a lot on his silhouette. I thought I want to investigate history where architectural aspects of garments were very interesting. And that’s what brought me to, for example, top coats, which are very architecturally constructed, which were actually for men back in the days. I like the fact that Christian Dior has such a kind of historical approach, but it will always be my goal to also bring a lot of variety. Dynamic and movement in this collection, we even injected a lot of things that have nothing to do with Christian Dior, like the skater pant, for example, or an easy sweater, to just kind of have a little bit more juxtapostion of garments that canhave very different kind of aesthetic, but it’s also I think, how women these days are very much dressing themselves.”[80]

Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Fall 2015 Runway Show[edit]

The Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Fall 2015 Runway Show was presented on March 6, 2015 to the soudtrack of Throbbing Gristle’s “Hot on the Heels of Love”[81] at the Louvre.[82] For Fall, Simons wanted to explore the Dior woman’s primal instincts. Silhouettes included pantsuits, double-breasted jackets,[83] and jumpsuits, paired with thigh high boots and lucite heels.[84] More than half of the looks were topped off with outerwear separates.[85] Simons partnered with the fabric firm Kvadrat to develop tweeds and other fabrications for the collection.[86]

According to the program notes, Simons wanted “that feeling of sensory overload in the collection, with this animalistic sexual woman wearing a new kind of camouflage."[87]

"I wanted the collection to deal with nature and femininity in a different way," Simons noted, "Away from the garden and the flower to something more liberated, darker and more sexual."[88]

“This is the second season where I start to realize that couture can be an activator of something and then from couture you take it an approach it for ready to wear styles,” explained Simons. “It needed a couple of years to feel free enough to also dare to release from the heritage of silhouettes. I still like to do something which was very strong nature suggested, but maybe less pamfleur and garden and romantic, but something more savage, urban, a little bit more sexual. For me, this is very feminine, and very senual and sexual, but maybe less romantic in the way how a lot of people percceive it, but not necessarily for me.”[89]

“Color for Fall/Winter is less intuitive, so I find this bright color kind of a real hot in the arm” observed Linda Fargo. “The opening pieces, those were easy, but you know, I like how Raf moved it through though.”[90]

Marylou Moll opened the runway show of 56 looks. Grace Hartzel, Lia Pavlova, Lexi Boling, Kadri Vahersalu, Kasia Jujeczka, Julia Nobis, Mica Arganaraz, Vasilisa Pavlova, Sofia Tesmenitskaya, Adrianna Zajdler, Kinga Rajzak, Ivana Teklic, Lis van Velthoven, Gabriele Regesaite, Yuan Bo Chao, Hanne Gaby Odiele, Julia Bergshoeff, Eliza Thomas, Maarte Verhoef, Roos Abels, Liza Ostanina, Irina Liss, Tilda Linsdtam, Aneta Pajak, Ine Neefs, Fei Fei Sun, Noa Vermeer, Julie Hoomans, Annina Krijt, Hedvig Palm, Amanda Murphy were amongst the models who also walked the show.

Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Spring 2016 Runway Show[edit]

The Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Spring 2016 Runway Show was presented on October 2, 2015[93] inside a blue-hued delphinium-filled tent,[94] 400,000 to be exact,[95][96][97] along the Rue de Rivoli[98] within the courtyard of the Carré du Louvre.[99][100] The collection was inspired by Peter Weir’s 1975 film, “Picnic at Hanging Rock.”[101] Simons told Vogue UK that he wanted “the collection to have a purity to it.”[102][103]

The artistic director continued to reinterpret Dior’s 1947 New Look hourglass silhoutte, juxtaposing masculine and feminine elements, while incorporating Victorian and Edwardian design techniques.[104][105]

The collection included cami knickers, chemise tops, embroidered military jackets[106] and pleated asymetrical skirts. The palette featured black, ecru, brown, pink, violet, and coral. Materials used included silk, cotton, wool, organza, nylon, chiffon, and leather.[107] Design details varied from scalloped edges, rounded shoulders, and pleated hems to floral embroideries, sequin embellishments, and three-dimensional appliques.[108]

"When you arrive and you see all the flowers they’ve put, the magic starts right from the entrance, observed Chiara Mastroianni. “And the only thing I can expect is to have fun and to be taken to another world. Fantasy!”[111]

“I wanted to stay with a lot of things that we have been working on in the last couple of seasons, espeically in the couture, but are now, make them ready for ready-to-wear,” explained Simons. “And so in that sense, I like to call it a very, very sensitive, pure, romantic futurism—futuristic romanticism. I wanted to do something, which is a little more pure than what we usually do. I think I feel like that because of what I think was happening to the fashion world in general. Things become, they go to a peak of like overexposure and overdecorated, and seen on the internet and clicked away a split second. Things are so instant and so fast and then they’re pushed away and next and pushed away and next. And I think I’ve been trying to build up something that there was gonna be a strong identity again.”[112]

Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Fall 2016 Runway Show[edit]

The Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Fall 2016 Runway Show was presented on March 4, 2016 at the Louvre. The domed set interior featured arches and a mirrored wall with matte silver and oxblood velvet. The cavernous setting created and environment conducive to the reverberations of a pulsating runway soundtrack. With the departure of Raf Simons, Lucie Meier and Serge Ruffieux,[113][114] part of Simons’s former team,[115] unveiled a colllection marked by black suiting, high-waisted pencil skirts, and softer jackets.[116]

Vogue Runway described many of the shapes as fashion-forward with flounce accents, higher necklines, and leg-of-mutton sleeves.[117] There were also graphic elements, highlighted here with colored off-the-shoulder furs. The palette included orange, lavendar, lime, hot pink, yellow, grey, and black. New proportions gave way to mini jackets, deep slits, and peplum dresses, while bare shoulders read as more feminine and seductive.[118][119][120][121]

WWD referenced the collection’s contraditions with asymmetry and a mix of patterns and prints. The beauty looks took on an androgynous, punkish, rebelous feeling, with Gothic elements. Dior Creative Image Director Peter Phillips created a new shade called Poison, which is a deep purple, for the Rouge Dior lipstick line. Hairstylist Guido Palau created a 1920’s-influenced style.[122]

Liv Mason Pearson opened the runway show of 57 looks. Paulina Frankowska, Camile Hurel, Yasmin Wijnaldum, Ondria Hardin, Alice Vanessa Metza, Julie Hoomans, Mayowa Nicholas, Sophie Rask, Olivia Mink, Sandra Schmidt, Estella Boersma, Lineisy Montero, Binx Walton, Abby Williamson, Marjan Jonkman, Wangy Xinyu, Jamie Bochert, Victoria Kosenkova, Vanessa Moody, Teddy Ouinlivan, Elizabeth Moore, Julia Hafstrom, Lena Hardt, Kiki Willems, Lily Stewart, Eva Varlamova, Mica Arganaraz, Kendall Jenner, Vera van Erp, Ella Wennström, Julia Nobis were amongst the models who also walked the show.

Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Spring 2017 Runway Show[edit]

The Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Spring 2017 Runway Show was presented on September 30, 2016 at the Musee Rodin. This season marked the debut of Maria Grazia Chiuri, the first female creative director in the 70-year history of the house. Chiuri previously spent seven years at Valentino, where she was part of a design team that quadrupled the company’s sales. Key pieces included lacy blouses, net dresses, tulle skirts, pea coats, and Bar jackets. The creative director also showed a slogan t-shirt that read “We should all be Feminists,” which references Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Ted 2012 TEDx talk and subsequent book.[125][126][127][128][129][130]

Chiuri drew inspiration from the 1976 film L’Innocente. Prominent shapes also varied from mini bustier dresses and long, lace dresses to circle skirts and masculine trousers paired with Bar jackets. The collection opened with a series of modern fencing-inspired pieces, but also paid homage to her predecessors with heritage elements. Dew Magazine noted that many of the gossamer gowns shown harkened back to her tenure at Valentino. Fabrications featured cotton, tulle, silk, lace, chiffon, cashmere, denim, and leather. Embroideries referenced zodiac signs, tarot card symbols, florals and bees. The palette included black, white, blue, pink, and red.[131][132]

"I want to create fashion that resembles the women of today," Chiuri noted. "Fashion that corresponds to their changing needs, freed from the stereotypical categories of masculine and feminine.[133]

I wanted to overcome the traditional man/woman, tailored/ casual, reason/emotion, stereotypes," the designer elaborated. "And I precisely thought of a wardrobe which is not just feminine, but feminist, where the distinctions between mind and heart no longer exist and thinking merges with action.[134]

When you are a woman making clothes for women, fashion is not just about how you look, but how you feel and think,” Chiuri told The Guardian. “Feminism for me is about equal opportunities,” “If I am going to stand for something, I would like to stand for this idea: that if you are a woman you can have these opportunities in life.”

Ruth Bell opened the runway show of 64 looks. Nynke Slegers, Gracie Van Gastel, Jessie Bloemendaal, Kris Grikayte, Mariana Zaragoza, Hebe Flury, Marjan Jonkman, Louise Baillieu, Emm Arruda, Michelle Gutknecht, Kye Howell, Sara Dijkink, Ine Neefs, Bet Callieri, Amanda Googe, Ania Chiz, Isabella Ridolfi, Mayka Merino, Maria Clara, Lexi Boling, Julia Hafstrom, Anique Józsi, Lea Julian, Blesnya Minher, Jing Wen, Luisana Gonzalez, Wallette Watson, Maddy Rich, Lorena Maraschi, Torry Zherebtcova, Caroline Schurch, and Nora Attal were amongst the models who also walked the show. Cara Taylor closed the presentation.[135]

Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Fall 2017 Runway Show[edit]

The Christian Dior Ready-to-Wear Fall 2017 Runway Show was presented on March 3, 2017 at the Musee Rodin. With a mood board that featured Picasso, Georges Braque, and Nina Simone, Maria Grazia Chiuri, unveiled her sophomore military-influenced ready-to-wear collection.[137][138][139] The collection was underscored by a sense of gender fluidity. Chiuri’s focus was on sportier daywear with oversized anoraks, bomber jackets, hooded tunics, cutaway capes, loose trousers, and flounced maxi skirts. She referenced the Dior archives, reinterpreting classic suiting as a modern-day uniform. There was also a conspicuous use of logos. The palette included black, white, and various shades of blue. Fabrications varied from denim, cotton, and wool to velvet, jersey, chiffon, and taffeta.[140][141][142][143][144]

Ruth Bell opened the runway show of 69 looks. Carol Paes, Aira Ferreira, Lea Julian, Manuela Miloqui, Michelle Gutknecht, Imari Caranjo, Imari Karanja, McKenna Hellam, Grace Hartzel, Selena Forrest, Shelby Hayes, Lea Holzfuss, Abigail Leigh, Nandy Nicodeme, Cara Taylor, Liliya Krishtalev, Kateryna Zub, Irina Djuranovic, Taylor Reeves, Madeleine Knighton, Bogdana Nevodnik, Ania Chiz, Lineisy Montero, Teddy Quinlivan, Emm Arruda, Nora Attal, Binx Walton, Maria Clara, Sara Dijkink, He Cong, Jing Wen, Amanda Googe, Mag Cysweska, Amber Witcomb, Femke Huijzer, Noemie Abigail, Natalia Trnkova, and Ellen Rosa were amongst the models who also walked the show.

“I need to speak to the millennials, and understand this generation, because I want to support them,” Chiuri told Vogue during a preview. “I want to build a wardrobe. I don’t believe in one uniform for everyone, but that everyone needs to find her own uniform, in which to express and protect herself.”[147]
