Raf Simons shows us the lighter side of couture in Paris with his collection for Christian Dior. Slashed, overlays, cuts and tiers were abundant and while the cutouts used were pretty they felt as though we had seen them before. The textures and fabrics helped keep the looks light and airy even when the colors got darker - the entire collection was comprised of black, white and navy. Overall the collection was innovative and the shapes were interesting but for a couture runway it seemed to slightly miss the mark. It was just a little...underwhelming.
