Book: Dior by Raf Simons

Dior by Raf Simons (2012-2015) is the sixth volume of the Dior by series, exploring the collections of each of Christian Dior Couture's creative directors. In 2012, Raf Simons is chosen to usher in a new era of the House's history. He breathes contemporary inspiration into Dior's romantic heritage by marrying his signature minimal aesthetic with the House's poetic elegance. A graduate in industrial design and furniture design from Belgium, Raf Simons brings his unique sensibility to fashion, infusing it with the eclectic mix of music, performance and fine arts that is inherent in his creative process. Of all the major Parisian Houses, Dior holds the most prestige around the world. Dior by Raf Simons — the sixth installment of the collection dedicated to Dior's creative directors — celebrates the most remarkable creations from Fall-Winter 2012 to Fall-Winter 2015, magnificently photographed by Laziz Hamani and explored by fashion journalist Tim Blanks.
