Raf Simons has been on board with Dior for two years and while we have loved almost all of his shows, we venture to say that this may be one of the best. Instead of referencing just one past decade or so, Simons referenced several centuries. Breaking the show into eight separate groups that had different inspirations the show was anything but boring and is bound to appeal to the entire audience.
Though there was a huge variety in styles, there was a central thread running through each look - all very chic-New-York-woman. These clothes could be worn by an extensive age range - beautiful coats that a mother might wear on a chilly night to a company cocktail party and who's daughter might borrow to wear to her own birthday party. The variety of looks also means that these pieces would seamlessly merge their way into your every-day pieces. After all, what's the point of spending thousands upon thousands on a gorgeous piece if you only wear it once every few years? True luxury should be worn every day.

“I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.”

| These beautiful floor-length coats from Dior's Fall 2014 Haute Couture Collection are as beautiful as any gown and exude luxury. |
 |
| Who says Haute Couture is only for special occasions. These pretty dresses and one-of-a-kind pieces but they could easily be worn for a number of occasions. |
 |
| Raf Simons of Dior drew inspiration from several different centuries though his designs had a defining chicness to them that kept the looks feeling modern and fresh. |
 |
| These gowns are some of our favorite from the entire show - not quite floor length yet obviously inspired by the Victorian days, they are a new take on formal. |
