Our love of Dior couture shows under the creative direction of Raf Simons, with impeccable creative prowess of Bureau Betak‘s set designs is well documented. The most recent Dior Spring 2015 show, held in the garden of the Rodin Museum in Paris is no exception. Mirrored surfaces, kaleidoscopic scaffold structure and a perfect shade of pink carpet set the scene for a devastatingly sophisticated spectacle.

Among the most memorable looks in the collection were the impossibly light dresses and skirts with ribbon stripes and razor-sharp pleats. Refinery29 and legendary fashion publisher Visionaire get us behind the scenes to tell the story of one dress from birth to runway – 200 hours and many, many hands edited down into a couple of short minutes. It’s an incredible revelation, and when one sees what goes into these garments, the exorbitant prices of couture start to seem a little less crazy. A wonderful reminder of what it takes to create and own the best, and why we all have to pay (and charge!) accordingly, irrespective of our profession. Amen.
