Paris Fashion Week: Dior hemlines rise and designers use colour
The anticipation around the Raf Simons' ready-to-wear debut at Dior was palpable, and the designer did not disappoint, evolving his own minimalist style. Brighter hues were served up by Roland Mouret, the master of va-va-voom, and Anne Valerie Hash whose unified collections boasted vibrancy, yet, still, never strayed too far from the black, that's now a mainstay for 2013. Issey Miyake picked back up of the popular trend of color-blocking to kaleidoscopic effect.
