The anticipation was palpable at this season’s couture show for Dior, due in large part to Raf Simons’ abrupt resignation as creative director. With uncertainty looming in the air, there were obvious questions surrounding who would be at the helm of the house’s atelier and what direction the aesthetic would lean toward now.
Those that bore witness to Simons’ inaugural collection for Dior during 2012’s spring couture season (or tuned in to the documentary Dior & I, which chronicled the events leading up to the afore-mentioned) can agree that all the painstaking attention he paid to every stitch and every nuance translated from his imagination and inspiration to the runway exceeded his expectations and those of onlookers. His interpretation of the Dior woman during his reign was the perfect marriage of ultra feminine elements, vibrant prints and colors, modernity, and exquisite tailoring. And he did all of this while remaining true to the essence of all things Dior.
But the Simons’ era has come to pass as he now focuses on his eponymous line, leaving everything in the hands of new designers for the house, Lucie Meier and Serge Ruffieux. This season, the silhouette was deliberately relaxed. Typically constricted dresses draped in yards of silk, satin, and tulle, and peplum jackets cinched at the waist gave way to a much softer approach. Barely there sheer dresses in lilac and baby blue and outerwear pieces void of over-structured elements seemed to, ironically, be the backbone of this season’s assortment. There were darling skirts bedecked with sparkly adornments. The preponderance of prints and mix of textures didn’t overwhelm the collection, surprisingly. But admittedly, the mood felt slightly mundane.
The palette of navies, blacks, and brooding reds turned spring on its head, with limited offerings of pastels. And there weren’t as many gowns this season as previous ones, though the ones presented, along with some slip dresses and overcoats, provided an interesting asymmetry about the shoulders. The collection, though beautiful, personally lacked the essence of the pomp and fanfare that revolves around haute couture. Erring on the side of ready-to-wear, a number of skirts will undoubtedly make their way on the bodies of Hollywood’s elite. Jennifer Lawrence and Zoe Kravitz just to name a few. But a heart-stopping, tear-jerking moment? The one gown that could bring a crowd to its feet in rousing applause and adoration for its creator? That effect was missing.
Nonetheless, the result wasn’t a complete miss. Maybe the intent of Meier and Ruffieux was to evoke a sense of comfort by peeling back the layers of all the rigidity and structure deeply rooted in haute couture. As onlookers, we have to account for variable change, especially in the world of fashion. While this season may be deemed by some as Meier’s and Ruffieux’s tepid entry into such a prestigious design house, it may have many enthusiastic about what the duo has in store for ready-to-wear month given the expert tailoring of skirts, tops, and trousers. Nonetheless, the designers definitely have to up the ante as far as couture is concerned – especially given this recent revolving door of creative heads quickly being hired and fired after only a few seasons – by effectively intertwining imagination, innovation, vision, and consumer desires. Hopefully, Meier and Ruffieux will have many more seasons to do just that.
What say you to Dior’s Haute Couture collection this season?
Kylie Jenner was spotted in Los Angeles in the same Dior Black Pointed Toe Lace Ankle Booties Rihanna originally wore back in November 2015:
Kylie paired the stunners with a black coat and loose fitting jumpsuit. Rihanna chose distressed denim and a tan colored Chanel shearling belted long coat.
The sold out stompers are crafted from lace and feature a pointed toe.
Although I love the look on both ladies, Rihanna gets my vote for the win.
Her jumpsuit features a cutout back, a self-tie halter neckline, plunging v-neck, concealed side zip, banded waist, side slash pockets, a wide-leg silhouette.
Traditional Barbies are a thing of the past!
Mattel announced they will be creating Barbie in three new body shapes in addition to introducing a variety of skin tones, hair colors, and features.
As part of the newly expanded Fashionistas line, Barbies will now be available in tall, petite, and curvy with seven skin tones, 22 eye colors, and 24 hairstyles. This is the first time the company has ever created a doll other than the traditional, thin Barbie.
“We believe we have a responsibility to girls and parents to reflect a broader view of beauty,” said Evelyn Mazzocco, senior vice president and global general manager of Barbie, in a company statement.
The dolls will available in stores on March 1st and are available online for preorder at Barbie.com. By the end of the year, Mattel plans to have introduced 33 new dolls!
It’s time that these dolls look like all the little girls that buy them instead of the unrealistic and unattainable looks of the original Barbie. Will you be buying one of these dolls for the special little girl in your life?
It’s been extremely cool watching her style transform and I figured it was time to showcase her flawless fashion sense.
This fashionista is the truth. Whether she’s highlighting her minimal ensembles or disclosing her best beauty secrets, Tosha never ceases to inspire. And, I mean, how can you deny the awesomeness of her photography?!
This Bomb Blogger’s no-fuss style objective has remained consistent throughout her fashion journey. She relies on classic color palettes, striking footwear, touches of bohemian influence and a mean sunnies game. Honestly, I can appreciate the effortless nature of her looks. Tosha also stays true to her love of clean and sleek silhouettes.
Slay on, hun!

50 Shades of Black hits movie theaters tomorrow. It looks like it’ll be a hoot!
Fashion Bomb Celebs attended the film’s LA Premiere in all black looks. Take a look at who was in attendance:
Nicki Minaj has always been….eccentric with her style.
When she first stepped out on the scene, she was the Queen of crazy colored wigs and artistic outfits. Paired with insane lyrics that had everyone hype for the female M.C. (nobody will ever forget Itty Bitty Piggy or her verse on Monster), Ms. Minaj also had a thing for insane outfits, way-out-there makeup and the hair to match.
Even in her earlier days, Minaj was experimenting with designer brands and labels (like for her first Grammy Awards show, she DID wear Givenchy), it was just the execution of her overwhelming outfits that needed a little bit of nurturing and love.
We then got to see the style evolution take place: Nicki was still wearing color, but had started ditching the out there makeup and neon-colored wigs. We could really focus on her looks (because she is stunning!) and actually get excited to see what she’d wear next. Nowadays, it’s nothing to see this mogul wearing paired-down designer threads; Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Balmain, Alexander McQueen and more race through her closet as she effortlessly slays on the red carpet or even in her day to day musings on Instagram. She wears more everyday makeup as well as toned down hair (although she will experiment with highlights every so often).
All we can say is that Nicki looks amazing now! Want to see more of her style evolution? Check out the gallery where we REALLY show you the true evolution of one of America’s greatest female M.C.’s.
