For the new Couture Fall 2016/17 story, Lucie Meier and Serge Ruffieux return to the source, the foundation of the House: the ateliers.
This collection is presented in the couture salons of 30 Avenue Montaigne—an intimate setting for a collection dedicated to the knowledge and superlative craftsmanship of Dior’s ateliers, the poetry of their work.
The Bar suit, the essence of Dior, is the principal inspiration and it is also re-interpreted. Even thugh, the inspiration goes beyond form: the signature silhouette of hourglass jacket and full skirt, encompassing every aspect of the Bar. Thus the entire collection is in the original palette, brilliantly contrasting black and white.
Monsieur Dior himself adored the juxtaposition of the two: “White,” he said, “is simple, pure and goes with everything,” while declaring, “I could write a whole book about black”.
Dior celebrates the incomparable expertise of its ateliers: the source of all beauty.
