Dior's T-Shirt Dress

This is the Spring/Summer 2015 Paris Collection. Popular designers have all created natural dresses that appeal with gentleness while traversing past and future. Monsieur Dior looked back to the 18th century. Artistic Director Raf Simons, who said in July's Haute Couture that "the future is built upon the past," connected this flow to ready-to-wear. The 18th-century court coats are paired with skater Bermuda shorts. Dresses with floral embroidery that appeared in couture have a light finish with vintage-style warp (blur) printing. The skirt, puffed out with a pannier, is connected to a cotton T-shirt with buttons. The patches, serving as a substitute for logos, evoke the image of a free woman traveling anywhere. It connects from the past to the future.

Valentino's Cutwork Dress

Valentino traced the "Grand Tour," a journey taken by French aristocrats in the 18th century through Italy, and unveiled a deep-sea blue world. The mini dresses, with unprecedentedly bold cutouts on the back and chest, are edged with micro-beads around the cutwork. Playful motifs of coral, seahorses, and starfish appear in embroidery and prints. A soft gradient knit in pastel colors paired with a long suede skirt. A white cutwork lace tunic, and a cotton shirt with a patchwork skirt of floral prints are recommended coordinates for summer. Shoes, continuing from couture, are gladiator sandals.
