Peek behind the scenes of the fashion event of a generation.
The unveiling of a new clothing collection by the House of Christian Dior may be a regular occurrence, but it's not often that a fresh artistic director takes the reins of the iconic label. Dior and I delves into the dramas and designs of newcomer Raf Simons as he prepares his maiden line for the beloved brand, after several years designing edgy menswear for Jil Sander and his own eponymous label.
