Dior Spring 2015–Artistic director Raf Simons continued on the thread where fall couture left off for the spring-summer 2015 collection from Dior. For this outing, Simons found himself inspired by the idea of modernity though a historical context. While couture introduced astronaut inspired jumpsuits, spring defined modernity with designs influenced by 18th century court attire including long sweeping coats, boyish Bermuda shorts that hit above the knee and nightgown inspired dresses. Compared to other designers who have been looking back at trends of the 20th century for spring preview, Simons stands apart with his historical codes and references.
