Dior Cruise 2018 Runway Show – “Dior Sauvage”- The Wild Wild West

Set against the backdrop of the wide open plains of California, the Dior Cruise 2018 runway show was magically ethereal. Cascading tents, hot air balloons, fire pits and delicate dim lighting of lanterns danced across the catwalk into the dusk sky. Dior effortless captured the aura of the old west while infusing their runway and high-end designs with the classic modern Dior flair.

Nevertheless, forget needing to be saved by some lasso throwing cowboy. The Dior Sauvage couture came off strong, bold, rustic without sacrificing even a hint femininity. The woman who adorns herself in this collection can hold a torch on her own but can still revel and bask in her womanly allure.

The Dior fashion house gave an earful of what served as the inspiration behind the 2018 cruise collection. Furthermore, even though the garments certainly spoke for themselves, we absolutely loved every word they said! Dior mentions,

“For her first cruise collection for the House, Maria Grazia Chiuri has employed the Dior Savoir Faire. Reinventing it to tell her story in idealized forms. A story that alters proportions and lengths to correspond to the contemporary landscape, in which sport mixes with haute couture. Where tradition transforms into ornamental abstraction and materials see their status changed.

A collection informed by a wild and ancient femininity bound to the magic of the earth! Maria Grazia Chiuri continues to remain loyal to her feminist vision. Design by a woman for a woman.

From the prehistoric wolves emerging from the Lascaux cave on the striking silk jacquards. To the reinterpreted female handprints becoming magnificent sequined embroideries in earthy shades. Maria sought to embrace and explore the Dior heritage for her Dior Cruise 2018 collection!

We have to say that Chiuri accomplished that and then some. However, now it is time for you to experience it yourself. Scroll through this feature to review a few of our favorite looks.

Arianne Suggs June 2, 2016June 2, 2016Leave a Comment

The hardest working woman in music and fashion has made style headlines once again. This time it is not heels, slippers, boots, athletic wear, socks or an awesome pair of sneakers. Rihanna has collaborated with Dior on a Rihanna x Dior sunglasses collection. The entire collection with have the Rihanna vibe and feel that fans have grown to love.

Rihanna x Manolo Blahnik, Rihanna x Puma, Rihanna x Stance and the list goes on and on. Whatever Rihanna touches seems to immediately turn into fashion gold. Don’t believe us? To quickly illustrate, Rihanna brought back her famous Creepers shoes. The first time around the popular shoe sold out of minutes. Since then, RiRi fans have begged and pleaded for the shoe design to come back into the fashion picture. Rihanna finally answered the style call and brought back the shoe in three new colors. The result? The kicks sold out in 30 minutes… again.

With that type of influence and power fashion houses and brands continue to line up for the chance to collaborate the chic mogul. With that being said it no wonder that Dior decided to work with Rihanna once again. Ah yes, the Rihanna x Dior sunglasses collection is not the first time the music icon and luxurious brand have crossed paths.

Last year, Rihanna starred as the face of Dior’s 2015 Secret Garden Campaign. This was no small feat. Rihanna was thrust in the history books as being the first woman of color to be the face of Dior. It looks like the Rihanna x Dior partnership has only blossomed over time and we are completely excited for their upcoming release!

If the price tag of Rihanna’s $3,500 Gucci spring/summer 2016 green dress made your mouth drop down to the ground you might as well leave it down there. We are not done yet. We still have to tell you about her outfit’s accessories. Okay, everyone deep breaths…

Most likely after the dress you noticed the boots. Those bad boys are Gucci too. They are the Gucci Finnlay Leather High Heel Boots retailing for $1,990. However, the splurge worthy details do not end with those glorious lace-up shoes. Jewelry anyone?

Rihanna adorned herself with a $11,500 Dior Cannage Bracelet, Jacquie Aiche’s Cameo Rings and $4,690 Diamond Halter Bra. And oh yeah, what’s a chic look without a handbag. RiRi toted a $3,400 Spring 2016 Christian Dior Diorever Bag. Oh and yes if you were really studying the fashions worn during this past 2016 Billboard Awards you most likely notice a few familiar looking bracelets. Looks like RiRi is still in love with her $14,500 Temptation Three-Prong Bracelets and $18,900 Lorelei Ribbon Diamond Bracelet. We finally get to be corny here… Rihanna shined bright like a diamond!

Therefore, in conclusion Rihanna walked around in NYC in thousands upon thousands of dollars. Not in her wallet or designer bag, but literally on her. Not that, ladies and gents is the true definition of a bad Bih…or shall we say Rih?

Rihanna Dolls Up in Pink Dior Gown for Home Premiere

Arianne Suggs March 23, 2015March 23, 2015Leave a Comment

Our initial reaction to RiRi’s fashion statement at the Los Angeles premiere of animated film Home, was wow she looks like a doll! We are sure if a Rihanna doll made it’s way to the toy aisle Mattel would make a serious grip. We are talking Elmo level pandemonium people… then again that’s the everyday life of Rihanna right now.

RiRi hit the red carpet in a pink satin gown by Dior that made us want to watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s for the 100 million time. Rihanna looked elegant, sophisticated and very old Hollywood glam. We love us some Rihanna whether her style is “badgal” or a conservative good girl.
