FASHION WEEK PARIS 2013. Christian Dior

Christian Dior. One of the most powerful brands in fashion present its collection during PFW 2013.The persistence of memory: the thoughts, feelings and experiences that flow and inspire the creative process over the passage of time. For Autumn-Winter Raf Simons focuses on this notion of memory and how it shapes the nature of design at the house; how this works for himself and how it once worked for Christian Dior.“This collection is more connected to passions we share,” says Raf Simons. “Like a real interest in art – Christian Dior started his career as a gallerist and represented both Dali and Giacometti early on. The connection to certain periods of time is also significant, his obsession with the Belle Époque in his case, the Mid-Century modern in mine. Here the connections made are important, the very idea of them rather than what they are made to; the attraction and obsession is the significant part.” (Christian Dior).
