Christian Dior Fall 2016 Couture

Lucie Meier and Serge Ruffieux have had pretty large shoes to fill at the Dior Atelier. The couture collection bubbled over with wardrobe staples and elegant choices geared towards what a fashionable woman, perhaps one roaming the streets of Paris, would need: a lot of black and white.

Many pieces were longline blazers paired with silhouetted skirts, tulle petticoats and simple items paired with classic shades of gold and silver.

Footwear remained minimal to sandals and gladiator form, however, not truly inhabiting the space of haute couture in Dior fashion. The collection also seemingly strayed away from the fitted form, embracing more of a loose, yet still graceful, approach to the Parisian fashion aesthetic.Makeup was kept to an over-the-eyelid cat eye and nude lips. Slicked back hair or wildly fringed bangs continued the beauty looks of models cascading down the runway, arguably marketing to the young, carefree woman with minimal time on her hands still vying to look  beautiful. Overall a stunning collection, it felt much to be desired of the fashion house powered by new aesthetics and out-of-the-box thinking. Nonetheless, the overall style was simple, polished, and targetable to many clientele. What did you think of Dior’s Fall 2016 couture collection?
