Top 5 styling moments from Dior AW15

The verdict on Dior AW15 is that these highly commercial RTW pieces wll fly off the rails. I’m quite taken with the accessories and beauty direction too. Here are my favourite styling elements…

1.WALKING-ON-AIR BOOTS
These ankle gripping boots with Lucite heels were unmissable, giving the illusion of walking on air. While the thigh highs will no doubt be all over the red carpet, the ankle versions are more likely to resonate with the street style set. Consider them as a way to elevate the newly-fashionable 501s…

2. HALF-HALF NAILS
Dior’s nails colours were matched to bags, but not exactly. One hand was mani-ed in one colour and the other in a similar but not exact shade. There were four Dior Vernis shades to choose from (Black Out, Cosmopolite, Darling Blue, and Metropolis — available in August) of which my favourite is Metropolis, a gunmetal greenish-grey.

3. PAPERCLIP EARRINGS
With all the hyper-colour and psychedelic prints, the jewellery was kept simple. Dior loves a single earring as do I, especially when it’s a utility-luxe paperclip earring…

4. WALL STREET BOYFRIEND JACKETS
That’s how Raf Simons described the oversized jackets and coats that he teamed with second-skin catsuits and flippy, ribbon-slashed skirts

5. SCI-FI SUNNIES
These reflective lens sunglasses are undeniably cool. The shape is simple, letting the lenses do all the talking.
