DIOR ADV Campaign Fall/Winter 2015/16

“My childhood home sat on a cliff and lay exposed to the most turbulent of weather,” wrote Christian Dior in his autobiography. As though in homage to the wildness of a nature that never ceased to inspire the couturier, it was at Granville, in a rocky landscape battered by the winds, that the Dior women staked out their territory for the autumn-winter 2015-2016 campaign. The animal-inspired prints covering their clothing and their Diorama bags, their long thigh boots molding like a second skin, and the slashed fabric of their skirts, all designed by Raf Simons, are captured by Willy Vanderperre’s lens appearing to melt into the harsh setting, like a new kind of camouflage, one that’s feminine and very Dior.
