Early last year, John Galliano went on an unfortunate drunken, anti-Semitic tirade and once news got out, his job at Christian Dior soon came to a close. It took a little while, and plenty of rumors, but eventually it was announced that Raf Simons would be taking the reigns over at Christian Dior as Galliano's replacement for Dior Haute Couture.
When the lights dimmed and the show started in Paris, it was Raf Simons' creations that made their way down the runway for Dior Haute Couture.
Our initial reaction was that with the exclusion of the flower-filled wall, the over-the-top show that we are used to with Galliano was no more.
The silhouettes showed off the female form in an exceptional way; the color palette was perfect for spring and although Raf went for simpler designs, the embroidery and beading solidified the couture status.
You can take a look at some of the standout pieces from Raf Simons' first Dior Haute Couture show for the Spring 2013 season in the gallery above. Congratulations Raf, it was amazing!

Christian Dior Spring/ Summer 2011 shoe collection is everything but boring, these shoes are flawless and they are the best embodiment of summer spirit we have ever seen. the collection is fantastic. It is so bright, so vivid, so vibrant … We literally can’t take my eyes off these shoes.
We are impressed with the way such bright and different colours go together and complement each other. Those bright details … ribbons, feathers, etc leave us with our mouth slightly agape.
And the best part is, of course, the diversity of the collection … All women will easily find here everything they want: sandals, ankle boots, classic pumps and even cute comfy flats.
What a cheerful and spicy summer from Christian Dior!

Top-hatted and veiled, with their hair caught in oversized snoods, and brandishing four-foot long riding crops, the models pranced through the grand salons of the Dior maison on the Avenue Montaigne, with the precision of thoroughbreds.
Jackets, in hunting pink, or English wool checks, were precision-tailored, detailed with silver buttons and extreme peplums, and allied to long, riding skirts, designed in side-saddle style in a mix of pleats and draped folds.
For evening, Galliano switched his focus to America, drawing on multiple references, including the era of "The Gibson Girl" considered the ideal of Stateside feminine Beauty in the early 20th century, and the eccentric millionairess and style icon, Millicent
