Simons continues his aim to take the House of Dior and its codes to a new level; he showed a bifurcated Bar jacket that launched the show, as well as badges and insignia--the emblems of clubs, gangs, tribes, youth cults. This was a "Modern Dior". Colorful, chic, asymmetrical, classic, elegant and yes, modern. He ended the show with a final parade of strapless silver jacquard dresses as well as black suits.
Colors: Ocean blue, silver-blue, ivory, black, rose pink, orange red, abstract flower prints
Trends: Pleats, asymmetrical hems, black suiting, one shoulder, strapless Watteau-backed cocktail dresses, "twisted" shirt dresses
