It seemed befitting that Pierre Cardin’s infamously quirky bubble palace, Palais Bulles, was the chosen venue for Raf Simons’ presentation of his resort collection for Dior. The futuristic architecture of the house, nestled on the cliffs between Cannes and Monaco, set the stage for a youthful and neo-traditional collection of leather flip flops, taffeta shorts, lurex knits, a reinvented Bar peplum jacket and net dresses worn over pleated skirts. Easy yet always glamorous  – just like the French Riviera. PS If you’ve got a case of FOMO, I highly recommend watching the video after the jump . . .
