CHRISTIAN DIOR SPRING 2012 HAUTE COUTURE 

Couture has kicked off this season and has us drooling! If you’re a fan of black/white contrast, you’ll love Dior’s latest creation by designer Bill Gaytten. The collection almost has a ‘Mad Men’ feel to it with a lovely modern twist. Every piece is a huge glamorous and feminine almost classic statement. Peep the full collection over at Style. So good!

RAF SIMONS TO TAKE OVER DIOR?

In a frenzy of speculation and industry murmurs, the house of Christian Dior has taken sweet time in selecting the next designer to creatively lead their historical fashion house. As reported by WWD and Vogue, sources have stated that a deal with Belgian designer, Raf Simons is on the rise will very soon be finalized. Throughout much of this year, following the termination of Dior’s previous director, John Galliano; names from Marc Jacobs to Alexander Wang.

Simons has become a notable figure in fashion as of late, through his design work at Jil.Sander. He also heads up his own namesake label Raf Simons, which is a step away from the Dior aesthetic as his designs tend to be hyper-minimalist. More info on this to come! Thoughts?
