Dior Cruise 2015, a breath of fresh air

home› gallery› runways

From 2006 when Dior first made its Cruise show in New York, the 2014 is an archive revisited line under Raf Simon signature.

The entire 66 pieces collection is a breath of fresh air: pure epurated lines, geometric motifs, florals and scarves. Raf Simon took its inspiration from the Dior collections and turned them into his own style. He wanted to touch a bit the Dior history but through his vision.

He used scarves as a fantastic symbol he is very fond of.  It helps him visualise scarves in carre as geometrical form. "I wanted to deal with in a different way," Simons said, cited by WWD. "Not as a styling element around the neck. I wanted to see how can we use that as an element, and see how I could deal with prints and flowers in a different way." 

The Dior Cruise 2015 collection was a playful creative game of Dior elements like florals with precise vision of the designer in geometric forms under the use of scarves. A collection that has an air of glam in pure lines, free flows and rigid tailoring.
