Christian Dior collection spring-summer 2014

For people who are not fashion professionals, the most interesting are the collections of the Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks, because there are so many famous brands that are known to absolutely everyone! Today we will see a new collection from designer Raf Simons.

Spring-Summer 2014 - Christian Dior
This collection turned out to be the most striking for the entire time of Raf Simons' work for Christian Dior, while the spring-summer 2014 collection is very well in line with the spirit and traditions of the fashion house. In many images and in a cut, the silhouette laid down by Christian Dior himself was guessed.

And also, flowers are notable, which can be seen everywhere during the demonstration of the collection. Christian Dior loved flowers. Creating new models, Dior drew sketches in which one could see a flower girl. And now in the spring-summer 2014 collection we can see girls in the form of flowers, and the decorations, among which the models pass, resemble a fairy garden.

Many fashionistas and connoisseurs of beauty, expressing their opinion, claim the following - the collection is beautiful, but this is not a Christian Dior collection. Of course, the spring-summer 2014 collection has gone far from the original images of Dior, only now the time is completely different, people who buy clothes live a different life. Designer Raf Simons has created a collection that meets the spirit of the times and at the same time contains a piece of Dior's philosophy.

In addition, let's remember how the history of the famous Fashion House - New Look style, Christian Dior began.

The New Look style was once called revolutionary, although, most likely, this style was nostalgic for the romantic past. Dior captured the spirit of the times, which was not limited to just one country. What seemed to some to be a revolution actually matched the global need for restoration. In the post-war period, everyone wanted to feel the joy of life, to see how wonderful life is, to quickly erase what they had to endure in their memory.

Christian Dior was dreamy, reserved, timid. Few people knew him until he made a sensation with his "New Direction". The "new direction" returned back to the era of pomp and luxury.

What are the characteristic features of the new look models? These are soft, sloping shoulders, a wasp waist, round hips, this is a look in which defenselessness and fragile femininity were clearly traced.

Over the next ten years, he twice a year caused delight and admiration, general jubilation of the entire fashion world and its admirers. He developed about 22 different clothing silhouettes, the female figure became like A or H, then 8 or Y, or even was hidden in a bag dress. Dior was the first couturier who managed to radically change the length of the dress and the silhouette. He either shortened or lengthened the skirt (but only between the knee and ankle). By his will, interest in fashion did not fade away, many designers tried to copy it. Shy and gentle in nature, he became a fashion dictator, and everyone obeyed him with pleasure. And now, when we want to know new trends in fashion, we turn again and again ... to Dior.

Delicate and gentle, Dior was subject to various fears. These features of his hid his talent.

In 1949, Dior owned almost 75% of all French fashion exports. He became one of the most famous people in the world.

In the last years of his life, Dior worked especially hard: for his numerous salons located in different cities of the world, he invented special models that were focused on the proportions of the figure and the needs of local customers. Thus, he had to develop about 1000 models. Therefore, it is not surprising that his health deteriorated by the age of 50. He had hypertrophied suspiciousness and obvious symptoms of stress. Dior carefully concealed his state of health and soul.Only his chauffeur and the soothsayer, whose services he used, knew his deepest secret: apart from heart attacks, the gentle and gentle couturier was deeply unhappy in his personal life ...

Christian Dior was fascinated by the romantic past and made other designers feel the same emotions. This is probably why they return to this style again and again.

And now, when the styles of different decades of the last century are mixed in fashion, the new look takes on more and more new guises, in which we notice the heroines of Dior in gloves above the elbow, Dior's bows, round hips, wasp waist, ...
