Christian Dior Resort 2014

I am thoroughly impressed by Raf Simons. I have always loved John Galliano (his designs at least) and his theatrical modern-vintage style is so very Dior to me now. Raf Simons has managed to take that same spirit to an entirely different level. The same level of sophistication and fun and madness, but with his own signature. Galliano would be a terribly difficult act to follow, and I feel he has performed marvelously.

This resort collection is less fantasy and more just completely wearable and desirable.  Sexy crop tops, cool  trousers - wide-legged or stovepipe (I cant shut up about the trousers right now, man), housedresses and coats with the right amount of Modern I Love Lucy, a little bit of an 80s vibe in the prints, laces, and color combos.

With the choker, this is delightfully 1996.

I want this in every color and fabric.
