By now, you’ve likely all heard that Raf Simons has chosen to step down from his creative director spot at Dior, and while LVMH will undoubtedly find a talented and worthy replacement, I’ve been thinking a lot over the past week about how much I’ll miss the brand of cutting-edge femininity he brought to Dior’s hallowed iconography, and to the bags in particular.
Simons proved especially adept at looking forward and backward at the same time, and the bags the brand produced during his tenure were ladylike and lush, but never too sweet. The brand recently added photos of its Winter 2015 collection to its website, and we snatched a couple of the photos to give you an up-close view of just how beautiful they are. Fine details have a way of getting lost online, but these bags are well worth a closer look.
