Paris Fashion Week is officially in full swing, and Dior decided to take on a different theme for its show this year. Normally, we see much more skin in shows, but Dior was focused on skirts with long hems and cinched waists. The skirts were fuller than we have seen in the past, and they were designed to resemble what a ballet dancer would wear. Even the shoes were modeled after ballet point shoes, just in a high-heel version.
The colors were very soft and natural, focusing on pinks and nudes. All of the skirts in the show were below the knee and full of panels, which gave them flair. For tops, we saw traditional jackets made from wool and belted at the waist. By using classic fabrics like cashmere, silk, and wool, this collection was nothing short of elegant. The contemporary style mixed with ballet inspiration was the perfect blend of classical and modern.
