It is no secret that cruise life is associated with a carefree, whimsical, lifestyle. The Christian Dior Resort 2014 Collection, created to capture the essence of cruise life, is a bright, lovely, and breezy ensemble. The aura of the collection is relaxed, yet elegant and enticing. The core elements of the atmosphere of cruise life, beautifully highlighted by way of extraordinary fashion, are the benchmarks of the collection. Crystal blue water, so clear you can see to the bottom, expressed in a delightful collection of sheer cover-alls, some with coral-like embroidery and worn over the model’s swimwear was one of the highlights of the show. The mixture of a “bathing beauty” look of the models, crossed with the successful business woman, was perfect in the detail – you can take a look for yourself.
The delight of relaxation is almost tangible; can you feel it? What is a cruise collection without spectacular eveningwear? The added splendor of color and elegant definition to scuba diving gear is a magnificent sight with bright, electric blue extravagance. The zip front evening gown needs no introduction; it speaks volumes to the lingering desire to take a dip in the deep, blue sea. Radiant high-low dresses, intricate with color and style, stole the show and elicited quite a reaction from the audience. Simple fresh makeup, with striking fuchsia lips, did not distract from the ravishing fashions of the evening. The Christian Dior 2014 Resort Collection was entertaining and one of a kind according to every account of those who witnessed the maiden voyage of the collection.
