Raf Simons for Christian Dior, Haute Couture f/w 12

"The avant-garde outsider from Antwerp insinuated himself into the hallowed history
of haute couture with a tour de force that had both emotional and intellectual resonance"

-

"Christian Dior's own obsession—flowers—was translated into salons lined ceiling to floor
with panels of blooms: delphiniums in the blue room, orchids in the white room, mimosa
in the yellow room, and so on. More than a million all told, making a gorgeous architectural
abstraction of nature" - Tim Blanks
