The Dior Spring-Summer 2013 Haute Couture collection is essentially a replica of work first unveiled during Paris' Couture Fashion Week in January.
Vertical black stripes on a milky silk maxi-skirt demonstrates understated elegance, peach blossom pattern on turn-down collars add a touch of spring, and dresses in bright colors evoke thoughts of summer days. Clients are invited to make appointments for purchases after the show.
Simons, the successor to the iconic John Galliano, has recreated a bucolic Garden of Eden.
The collection explores the rich diversity of the seasons and features carefully constructed full flowers and exquisite multi-layered embroideries that bloom on dresses and silhouette trousers.
