The trouser suit is back. And there's one for everyone. 

History Made (part 1). Dior SS13

It was a moment in fashion history: Raf Simons' first collection for Dior.

Did he reinvent the wheel? I didn't really feel like he did, but then my expectations were definitely too high. The collection was beautiful, starting out with classic trouser suits and jacket dresses that seems to epitomise stylish femininity. Those neck scarves were the highlight of the show for me.

Then came the experimentations with cut and colour - some of which worked and some of which didn't, depending on your taste. Finally, Raf revisited the silhouette he explored with his first couture collection. Those skirts should be able to melt even the coldest of fashion hearts. One thing is for sure: Raf and Dior were meant to be together.

A New Era At Dior. Haute Couture AW12

Raf Simons's first show at Dior being Haute Couture... It couldn't have been planned better. An audience of fashion royalty including Marc, Donatella and Alexandra (Shulman, editor of UK VOGUE - spot her in the yellow jacket) watched as Raf took us on a journey through a world of classic suits and dazzelings dresses. Powder pink and bold red were considered a knod to his last show for Jil Sander, while dresses that looked like they were inspired by space travel were something completely new.

As is the norm with Simons, not a single outfit lacked beauty, elegance or grace. Each one had the perfect of combination of all these factors that have always been synonymous with Dior.

Fashion For Your Head

The must have accessory of AW12 is definitely a fabulous hat. Your options range from conservative to completely over the top. Whichever you choose, try not to take all that beauty to your head.

The Biggest Night In Fashion

When it comes to dressing up, The Met Ball is definitely the event that requires the most fashion IQ. Because unlike the Oscars or the Grammy's, this event is about fashion. This year, the exhibition being celebrated is called Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations. Naturally some of the best outfits were Prada, and although I don't have a picture of Miuccia just yet, here are the best red carpet fashion moments to keep you occupied.
