Raf Simons Wipes the Slate Clean at Dior
If there was a theme to Raf Simon’s debut ready-to-wear collection for Dior it was liberation. Liberation, which is so central to Dior’s heritage, as it was Christian Dior’s “New Look” in 1947 that instantly erased the harsh memories of the limitations imposed by World War II and embraced femininity in fashion once again. And it was a liberation for Raf Simons, too, who wanted to move beyond his own minimalist heritage by injecting a bit of sensuality and emotion into his pared down style.
