Raf Simons at Dior

With the news that Raf Simons is to take over the helm at Christian Dior, here at Get Waisted we just can't wait for his debut at Paris couture week in July. "My aim is a very modern Dior, but at the end of the day, I also look back," he told the New York Times. He said: "I find that period between 1947 and 1957 extremely attractive, and there was a lot of modernity". His last collection for Jil Sander, emphasized ’50s and ’60s silhouettes with couture shapes and received much critical acclaim.

As you'll know, we're big fans of 1940's and 1950's glamour (see our 'Age of Elegance' blog post) so are anticipating wonders for his future at Dior.We really mean this when we say, we cannot wait to see what he does there.

Here's a selection of features from his previous collections, including pastels, florals and colour block brights which will continue to feature in womenswear throughout the rest of the year.

And, a couple more looks with the trends we love, including head to toe floral at DKNY and a vibrant tribal vibe from high street brand Warehouse.

So with our wardrobes all prepped and ready to roll, now all we have to do is get it to stop raining!!
