Dior new collection. The most famous Christian Dior collections. Main trends – old trends are coming back

On the eve of the new season, everyone is eagerly awaiting the release of the next collection of the Dior fashion house, which deservedly bears the high title of trendsetter in the fashion world. Designers who represented the brand at different periods of its development have always been able to surprise and impress with unusual images and bold decisions. The names of such great couturiers as Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferre, John Galliano, Raf Simons are inextricably linked with the Dior brand.

The new collections, developed by Maria Grazia Chiuri and Chris Van Assche, were no exception. In women's models, the famous new look silhouette is clearly visible, combining grace, femininity and elegant, non-defiant luxury, and men's images will resonate not only with connoisseurs of classic style, but also with creative young people.

When creating fashionable images, the Italian Chiuri was inspired by the incredible feeling of freedom that, in her opinion, only Paris can give. That is why the new fashionable PRE-FALL collection for the fall-winter 17-18 season from the Dior brand gives fashionistas the opportunity to choose the style, color scheme of models and a variety of prints, and the READY-TO-WEAR collection offers discreet looks with a touch of classic rigor.

The main accents of the PRE-FALL collection of Dior autumn-winter 2017-2018

While in Paris, any woman wants to be bright and stylish, attract attention and catch admiring glances. Marie Chiuri offers you to experience the romance and spirit of this amazing city, no matter where you are geographically.

In the new collection, admirers of the fashionable style of the house of Dior will find many fresh ideas:

1. Strict classic bows, ideal for a business meeting.
2. Original youth looks that harmoniously combine denim, floral prints and comfortable, spacious chunky knit sweaters.
3. Stylish short dresses, which the designer recommends combining with high boots and jockey hats, fashionable in 2018.
4. Elegant evening dresses in which translucent fabrics are complemented favorably with a jacket with an animal print or high shorts.
5. Discreet long dresses in black and gold tones.

We should also pay attention to the ethnic motifs in the decor of various elements. Interesting vests, jackets and dresses will definitely appeal to successful women who want to add a touch of creativity to their look.

For cold autumn days the designer suggests:

• cozy knitted cardigans;
• leather jackets;
• bright fur capes;
• classic maxi length coats;
• wide oversized raincoats;
• stylish short fur coats.

Key highlights of the READY-TO-WEAR 2017-2018 collection from Dior

In contrast to the decoratively diverse looks of the intermediate collection, the models presented at the READY-TO-WEAR show are made in restrained blue tones. The bows proposed by the designer can be divided into three groups:

• elegant classic;
• youth ;
• luxurious evening dresses.

Classic looks from Dior are always popular, because this is the style of a successful business woman, in which elegance, chic and sexuality are moderately present. The new collection from Dior indicates that in the fall-winter season 217-2018 the following will be relevant:

• pleated skirts;
• pantsuits,
• long floor-length skirts;
• fitted silhouettes;
• high boots;
• large cell;
• berets

Do you think that classics have a retro touch? Look how stylish and fashionable the models look, trying on strict, at first glance, images.

Knowing that young and active girls, when choosing casual clothes, give preference to comfort and practicality, the Dior fashion house included a series of models made of light blue denim in the collection. Please note that in 2018, fabrics without a grater effect, without torn holes and cluttered decor are popular. The simple loose fit and laconicism of the models are complemented favorably by the bag straps, decorated with complex patterns and metallic decor.

Regardless of whether a woman adheres to the strict canons of a business dress code or prefers a simpler and more comfortable street style in everyday life, in special moments she wants to feel like a queen or princess. It is simply impossible to go unnoticed in Dior, because they are created to make a woman beautiful.

In 2017-2018, the Dior fashion house provides fashionistas with a choice of stylish models made of luxurious blue velvet and sophisticated dresses made of flowing transparent fabrics. Refined decorative options add special elegance to the outfits: lace, ruffles, prints, embroidery and tiny shining rhinestones.

Men's looks from the Christian Dior fall-winter 2017-2018 collection

If women's looks from Dior are sophistication and grace, then men's looks are modern business style and the unbridled energy of rave parties, youth drive and elements of hardcore culture. The Dior fashion show, traditionally held in Paris, demonstrated the main trends in men's fashion for the fall-winter 17-18 season. The collection turned out to be very bright and stylish. The proposed variety of styles, textures and colors makes it easy to choose a fashionable look for a business meeting or for every day, taking into account individual preferences.

So, here is Maria Grazia Chiuri's first collection as creative designer at Christian Dior. Undoubtedly, this is a highly anticipated collection - everyone was interested in how the new designer would see one of the oldest clothing brands in his creative interpretation and how this vision would be embodied in the new debut collection. In addition, it should be noted that the position of creative director of Christian Dior was occupied by a woman for the first time in 70 years of its history. And what can we say - it’s really new, fresh, simple, universal and practical at the same time.

Christian Dior Spring-Summer 2016 Collection

The Christian Dior Spring-Summer 2017 collection is based on a fencing jacket, which was then modified in many interesting ways, which is so neat and appropriate when paired with both trousers and fluffy tulle skirts. By the way, cropped trousers are also a kind of professional clothing for fencing.

As for the surroundings and setting in which the show took place, everything was much simpler and ascetic compared to the flower halls of Raf Simons and his first collection at Christian Dior.

Dresses

Perhaps someone will disagree, but some dress models are quite reminiscent of Valentino dresses, with characteristic images of the moon and sun, stars, and hearts. But that's probably where the similarities end. Chiuri seems to rejuvenate the brand, making it more modern and lowering the age threshold for fans of the brand. She has Christian Dior inscriptions on elastic straps, football shirts, and bags. Even on evening dresses made from tulle mesh, inscriptions are visible - and this is truly a new and very bold step.

Dior held a show of its new spring-summer 2017 collection in London. It left the feeling of traveling through different countries, there were so many different looks. It is in connection with this that the show was given the name “express”.

The presented New look collection from Dior was created with imagination and turned out to be completely unexpected. The creators of the clothes combined incompatible things in their works: puffed sleeves, ribbons, drapery, interesting colors and completely different textures. All this diversity is united by only one word - New look from Dior. The latest collection from Fendi can be seen.

Dior - chic and sophistication

To fully feel the atmosphere of the show, you need to imagine pastel colors: blue, peach, beige, a soft shade of mustard. Almost everything is diluted with floral prints and bright red accents. This brand is characterized mainly by tight-fitting and semi-tight silhouettes and clearly defined proportions.

However, the presented collection from Dior is dominated by loose-fitting shirt dresses with wide sleeves, short flared trousers and comfortable shoes (read here -) intended for everyday wear. The sole of the shoe shines gold.

Each item is characterized by a feature - one dress is gathered in waves from top to bottom using a ribbon, another dress is decorated with a belt with a leather cord, the skirts are complemented by peplums.

The new Dior collection features a large number of distorted silhouettes, multi-layering, voluminous trim, and gathered details. In the presented images, instead of the typical Christian Dior style, the basis is made up of contrasting prints with graphic and animalistic patterns, bright accessories, large belts, and sports bags. Spectacular makeup was created for the models - the main emphasis was on the eyes using dark bronze shadows.

After the show of the new collection, it is definitely difficult to judge in which direction Dior will develop.

Main trends – old trends are coming back

The spring-summer 2017 shows can be marked by the return of old trends.

The main trends of the presented collection were:

• cropped flared trousers. Of course, they are different from the flares that were in fashion in the 70s. The modern flare in the Dior collection is presented in a minimalist design, monochrome color scheme, it does not have brightness, noticeable decoration and excessive extension, as before. Here the flare comes from the knee. And shades of ivory and black are emphasized by satin and patent leather. There is a combination with the boho style () - trousers made of fabric like “matting” with fringe decor were presented. Flared trousers beautifully highlight the ankle.
• puff sleeves. Since the 2000s, puffs have already tried to return to the catwalk, although in the 80s of the last century they were the leaders of any clothing collection. Dior designers used different versions of this sleeve in the new show. There were lanterns, exaggerated shapes, and even drapery in the form of cascading waves. Puff sleeves experienced a new birth in the off-season show.
• floral motifs. Both large and small floral motifs were used. Dresses, blouses, skirts with floral arrangements had strict lines, emphasized by light and translucent, as if flying chiffon, giving some frivolity. Fashion designers balanced the lightness of chiffon with bags of strict shapes and black jackets.
• flowing satin became the most significant trend of the fashion show. These fabrics were in the shadows for a long time, but in 2017 they returned to the fashion Olympus. Satin turned into feminine pieces with a soft shine and a pronounced texture. The color scheme of dresses and skirts emphasizes the nobility of satin - these are mustard, blue, peach, and mustard listed above. Particularly noteworthy is the robe dress made of black satin with puffed sleeves, presented in combination with rough military-style shoes (more details) with animal print.

Critics expected more

It should be noted that the French fashion house Christian Dior is still working without a creative director. This probably explains the change in style of recent shows. There are opinions that the work of the internal team led by Serge Ruffier and Lucie Meyer has completely changed the past direction of the fashion house, and not for the better. Many were sure that the cruise show would end with the introduction of a new creative director, but this did not happen.

The great French designer was especially visionary when it came to accessories. Born in northern France in 1905, Christian Dior burst onto the Paris fashion scene after World War II with a revival of femininity, joie de vivre and dissent.
Back in 1954, he indicated several fashion rules that women must adhere to in order to always be impeccable, while he believed that evening accessories must necessarily differ from daytime ones, well, at least in size. Bags, according to the designer, should be made of the highest quality materials and, preferably, handmade if they are to be combined with any stylish ensemble.
Although Dior offered different types of bags, from the most elegant to the most eclectic, he and his followers strived to offer models that could best be combined with different clothes.
And after Dior, handbags have chosen to play an important role in a fashion house's signature style, and for good reason, celebrities and VIPs love to carry French handbags during red carpet events.
Respect for tradition, innovative finishing and embroidery, inspired by passions and superstitions, are evident in the new 2019 Dior bag collection. The new collection combines the house's traditional lifestyle with new studded embellishments and metallic finishes. Special embroidery and applications cover the themes of astrology, card symbolism and the classic clover.

Let's find out all the news and impressions from the new catalogs by evaluating the photos and prices of the original new offers in the Dior online store.
And we will make sure that the skill and mood never left the talented and famous fashion designers of the high fashion house, the mood that is the house.

He gained fame quite late - after working in the atelier of successful fashion designers of his time, Robert Piguet and Lucien Lelong, he opened his own business only at the age of 42. Mr. Dior's debut collection revolutionized ideas about female beauty, and he himself became the most popular fashion designer not only in France, but throughout the world. January 21 marks the 110th anniversary of the birth of the greatest fashion figure of his era. For this date, ELLE has prepared a review of the main collections of the House of Christian Dior, created by both its founder and followers.

With his first collection, Christian Dior sought to say goodbye to the poverty of the post-war period and the hated zazu style. “Fashion wanted to return to its original purpose, and its purpose was to adorn women, to help them become beautiful,” Dior writes in his autobiography about the 1947 collection “Crown Line,” which, thanks to journalists, became known throughout the world under the name “ New Look". The designer created the image of a flower woman - high breasts, a thin waist, like a stem, and a fluffy, like a corolla, ankle-length or slightly higher skirt. Despite the fact that the dresses of the New Look silhouette instantly made Dior famous, his debut collection caused a lot of controversy - feminists accused him of wanting to put women in corsets again, and the legendary one even called his work “the main horror of the late 1940s.” .

In 1957, after Dior's sudden death, the House was headed by his assistant, 21-year-old Yves Saint Laurent. With his first collection, Trapeze, the fashion prodigy created a revolution, just like his teacher. He saved the company from a seemingly inevitable collapse. As a basis for the models for his debut independent work, Saint Laurent took a trapezoidal silhouette with straight lines and a short length. By all accounts, the 1957 Dior collection was intended for a younger, more fashionable clientele than the work of the house's founder.

Frenchman Marc Bohan headed the House of Dior longer than anyone else - he served as creative director for 28 years. During this time, he completely changed the brand's style, its DNA and key characteristics. “I create clothes for real women, not for mannequins and fashion magazines,” Bohan said, accusing Christian Dior of being too decorative. However, despite the brilliant start to his career, it was under Bohan in the late 1980s that Dior lost its former glory and fell into decline. Marc Bohan's most popular work for Dior was his 1966 collection based on the then-released film Doctor Zhivago. Long coats with fur collars and wide belts became fashionable symbols of their time.

Bohan, who was fired in 1989, was replaced by the Italian Gianfranco Ferre, who returned Dior to its former shine. While working on collections, the designer studied the archives of the House, wanting to revive the traditions laid down by its founder. Ferret managed to return the recognizable elegant and feminine style of the brand, giving it a modern sound. As the first non-French designer to head the house, he created designs that embodied Parisian chic. His first collection for Dior in 1989 was a huge success and received the prestigious Golden Thimble award.

Dior under John Galliano

The flamboyant Briton headed Dior in 1996. With his debut collection for Dior, “Misia Diva,” he showed that he was not going to follow the usual path. The designer sought to make each show a theatrical show with the development of the plot. Galliano's extravagant collections were based on ethnic motifs; he studied the history of fashion and culture of different countries and created real works of art, which often caused heated debate among champions of fashion traditions and fashion innovators.
