Ever since this first collection, Christian Dior never ceased to create a springtime universe to perfect women that had been locked up in wartime shackles for too long. The fabric unfolded, embracing the hips’ curves to make them spring forth under these corolla forms, espousing the waist and structuring the shoulders for a chic and elegant, feminine and loving silhouette. Now that Raf Simons is in the midst of his Dioresque conversion, he’s offering the world some of the most beautiful references to the brand in unexpected reworkings filled with a nostalgic historic passion.
Due reverence is paid before the Tailleur Bar, a memory of those afternoons of yesteryear when cocktails were synonymous with the luxurious grand hotel bars. From this is born the DiorBar bag, meticulously reusing the principal characteristics of the fashion history behemoth. The rounded lines don’t take long to join the simple and strict form of a sensual bag, closed by two jeweled clasps marked by the master couturier’s initials. The feminine curves dialogue with a varied color palette and rich materials released in tanned veal, ostrich leather, or crocodile skin. One final touch: the DiorBar’s profile evokes the “8” of the silhouette imagined by Dior and inscribes this creation in the infinity of a reinvented past.
