Raf Simons debuts at Dior

Raf Simons debuted as the new creative director of Dior on Monday.

His debut show was held in a private house on the Avenue d'léna with some of fashion's biggest names in the audience.

Marc Jacobs, Alber Elbaz, Donatella Versace, and Diane von Furstenburg were all in attendance.

The 54 piece collection was given rave reviews from designers and fashion writers alike.

Cathy Horyn, of the New York Times, wrote:

At a time when much of high fashion is highly influenced by image, whether iconic photographs from the 1950s couture or new manipulated digital images, Mr. Simons's debut essentially asks people to trust their own eye. His clothes are often so simple that you have to look at them for a while before you see the small gesture of the magisterial way of sleeveless black crepe falls over the body. He gets the most and the best out of couture, and this is just the start.
