Perfection.

Raf Simons at Christian Dior.

The casual elegance of a 3/4 sleeve flamingo-pink wool coat; the girlish charm of an eye-popping frock, the assured Raf Simmons hand in the suiting, the very Dior-ness of the red bell-shaped dress, the wicked humour in the long black and white long. A colour palette that combined classic tones with neon youth.

Somewhere in time and space Monsieur Dior is smiling.

Dark Horse

Loving the drama that trotted down the runway at Lanvin. Classic pieces with brooding twists, ruffles, frills and plumes flowing from hats.  They looked like punkish show ponies with their tails flying behind them. 

Slightly sombre and yet so fun.  Was that a leather dress?  And a full leather trench?  Delicious and so decadent. I loved the waterfall tweed skirt too.  Once again a collection to covet from the man who makes the clothes 9 out of 10 fillies want to wear.
