In the days without a creative director, Lucie Meier and Serge Ruffieux have been leading Christian Dior and other designers through all the collections. This fall/winter 2016 haute couture show, the two returned to the roots of dior: 30 Montaigne Avenue. This is the foundation of dior, where all haute couture orders are made and guests pick, negotiate and tailor-make here in a private form.
Tracing back to the roots and returning to the essence is indeed the biggest theme of this haute couture collection, not only because there are only black and white throughout the collection, but also because of the iconic classic style: bar suit, which has appeared in a richer form this season, which is also the theme of this series throughout. From hourglass-type jackets to loose-hem skirts, every aspect of the bar suit is included.
Black and white are not just classic contrasting colors, they play an important role in lucie meier and serge ruffieux, which contains a variety of secondary sexes: male and female, retro and modern echoes, but also means a relationship of seeking common ground while reserving differences between designers.
Mr. Dior once praised the charm of black and white: "White is simple, pure, and can coexist harmoniously with anything. At the same time, he said: "Speaking of black, I can write a full book." Even Picasso chose to abandon color and highlight the composition of the picture in black and white. So this collection is also an in-depth study of fashion silhouettes and structures.
Speaking of vintage and modern, meier and ruffieux are re-deconstructing the classic bar suit this time. First of all, they modified the part of the skirt and designed the evening dress with pleats and vertical tailoring. The top is made from layered Eugen yarn, like a fabric stacked structure under X-rays. The classic new look is presented in a lighter fabric texture, more fashionable and modern.
The only color in the entire collection comes from the gold sequins used in the embroidered decoration of the clothes, inspired by the French sculptors César and claude lalanne. The role of embroidery in this collection is not only in fashion decoration, but also in the jewelry of the whole body shape.
This time, the only black and white classic color is gold, and the magnificent jewelry is like the stars in the night, and even the gold-plated pearls are embellished, and the hand embroidery is still extraordinary.

"True luxury requires the finest fabrics and the care of craftsmen." --Christian Dior
Dior haute couture is constantly pursuing and striving for excellence, preserving the tradition of excellence in craftsmanship. The details of what happened at 30 Omenade montaigne in 1947 have been revered by posterity. Each creative director gives his sketch to the workshop, which begins a long deductive process, with the "skilled" seamstress assisting the "chief mechanic" to make the modified samples until the sketches on paper are transformed into flawless dresses. "The workshop is the place where the book of heaven is deciphered," Mr. Dior writes.
The show consists of a total of 15 small rooms, and the all-white wooden chairs are neatly arranged, just like the first dior haute couture show of the year, and the time travels.
The walls were all repainted white and painted gold to echo today's black and white themes.
The models' makeup also echoes today's scene, with golden eyeshadow and black and white.
