Dior's New Designer

On March 2, 2011 Galliano, after having a few drinks, had an out burst at a cafe in Paris. His antisemitic rant cost him his job as head designer at Dior , as well as a fine of $8,400 (6,000 pounds)

On April 9,2012 Raf Simons was appointed the new head designer at Dior. I was anxious to see the direction that he would take Dior after Gallianos creative reign.



First here is a little back story on Raf Simons.
Raf Simons was born on January 12, 1968, in Belgian. He started his career in the fashion industry in 1995 with Walter Van Beirendonck, in Paris as a menswear designer. in the summer of 2005 he was named creative director for the Jil Sander Label. Until April 9, 2012 when he was appointed head designer for Dior.
Raf Simons has a sophisticated style and is know fro dressing the corporate women.

Here are a few of the designs from Raf Simons 2013 Resort Line. 
I found him to be a wonderful fit with Dior. He is classic, sophisticated and elegant. Everything that I think Dior should be. I look forward to seeing what else he brings.
