At the moment, Dior is in a holding pattern. Spring 2016 marked Raf Simons’ final season as the brand’s creative director, and parent company LVMH has yet to name his replacement; there was a similar gap between the appointment of Simons and the removal of predecessor John Galliano. Dior has a history and legacy like few others in the luxury market, and that means the in-house design team can sustain it for a while while the brand’s executives make sure they get the right hire; no one will forget about Dior just because the brand was relatively quiet for six months or a year.
Fortunately, Simons’ time with the brand gave the home team a huge, solid base to build on in his absence. Pre-Fall 2016 includes beautiful new iterations of the popular Lady Dior and Diorama bags, as well as new Diorever Totes, which was Simons’ last major bag debut. The line also includes multiple versions of two new additions, the simple and pretty Blossom Tote and the more complicated Stardust Backpack, both of which come in two different sizes. Neither is a revelation, but both are attractive options that help develop the line and give buyers something new to consider.
