Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2012/13 by Raf Simons
The fur evening
dresses, a black mink bodice melting into a broadtail pencil skirt and an
oatmeal broadtail peplum tunic over a pantsuit lacked the unforced
elegance that otherwise
characterized Simons’s approach, but there were
embroideries of fronds of black bugle beads
densely sewn on their ends
and tipped with scarlet or chrome yellow that were an exquisite evocation
of fur fronds. There were further quietly dazzling embroideries in the house tradition notably the tiny
organza blossom florets scattered in ombre formation over a full-skirted short evening dress, or
the clipped feathers applied in broad horizontal stripes of ice blue and soft beige to another
romantic ballet-length ball dress. There was subtle drama, too, to the dresses, with one
embroidery motif and color forming the front, and another the back, for a dramatic exit.

'Oil-on-Water' Afgh. Broadtail
Fashion had seen nothing like it for years. Outside in the street, there
was hysteria.
Inside, the industry's great and good Alaïa, Elbaz,
Jacobs, Theyskens, Tisci, Van Assche,
Versace, von Furstenberg gathered
to see Raf Simons debut his first haute couture collection for
Christian Dior. That it would be a success seemed a given, what with the evolving
polish
and confidence of Simons' "couture trilogy" for his previous
employer, Jil Sander. That it
would be such a triumph was a
thrill. The avant-garde outsider from Antwerp insinuated
himself into
the hallowed history of haute couture with a tour de force
that had both emotional
and intellectual
resonance. As the man himself said, "A shift is happening."
