As you have surely
heard by now Raf Simons has landed the big gig with house of Dior! Christian
Dior announced
that Raf Simons would take over as artistic director of the house, succeeding
John Galliano. The news comes only one month after former Dior Homme designer
Hedi Slimane was named
creative director at Yves Saint Laurent. But what are we expecting from
Raf Simons? “My aim is a very modern
Dior, but at the end of the day, I also look back […] I find that period
between 1947 and 1957 extremely attractive, and there was a lot of modernity.
There was the romantic appeal looking back to his mother and the belle epoque,
but there was also a constant evolution in shape, changing proportions and the
ideas connected to the World War were revolutionary.”- Raf Simons
