DIOR HAUTE COUTURE LOOKBOOK RAF SIMONS SPRING SUMMER 2015

Description: DIOR HAUTE COUTURE LOOKBOOK RAF SIMONS SPRING SUMMER 2015 54 RUNWAY LOOKS Spring/Summer 2015 (printemps-ete 2015) haute couture lookbook hardcover, excellent condition "Fused strains of the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies formed the nucleus of Raf Simons' explosive feast of ideas and bravado for Dior. "Thus, the catwalk (or, more accurately, the trippy, tiered white metal scaffolding built atop plush pink carpeting reflected every which way by a mirrored ceiling) featured deb-worthy party dresses, Space-Age shifts, plastic-fantastic printed coats and psychedelic catsuits that delighted or dismayed, depending upon the viewer’s flash threshold for high optics. The embroideries, the fabric mélanges, the plastic prints were executed to complex perfection, texture upon texture, surfaces complementing or clashing on a case-by-case basis. Among the many stunners: pleated, embroidered ribbon dresses, plastic coats over intensely embroidered guipure dresses, the occasional shock of simplicity, as in a short green wool coat with only a single vertical strip of silver decoration. Everything was shown with second-skin stretch boots. Whether short, thigh-high, black or bright, these grounded the flamboyance while shooting a dose of subversion into the lineup’s more overtly romantic moments. Along the way, the retro receded into a treatise on modern chic."
