IT FELT STRANGE and wonderful to see fashion filling our social media feeds once again, after so much time away. Some shows were projected to our screens in the form of live video streams, some were artistic films, while others still were small live shows in front of Parisian audiences for the first time in ages. Fashion always makes us dream, which is a lovely thing during these uncertain times, and dream we did. Here are a few of our favourite settings, thoughts, and looks from the Fall 2021 haute couture season ...

HIGH UP ON THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS IN LA, large tents were set-up, and a bonfire burnt as two hot air balloons branded Sauvage settled in the sunset. An unlikely location for a Christian Dior show, but a reasoned one. Mr. Christian Dior, after all, visited Los Angeles in 1947, while today, the house has formed relationships with many Hollywood stars, who appear frequently on the red carpet costumed in Chiuri’s signature taffeta gowns.
Christian Dior has just unveiled its magnificent new flagship store on London’s iconic Bond Street. Four years in the making, the interior was designed by celebrated architect Peter Marino, whose portfolio of work already includes designs for most of the great names in luxury retailing.
