ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
Christian Dior's new creative designer Raf Simons unveiled his second haute couture collection on Monday (January 21) at Paris fashion week following his critically-acclaimed debut for the French fashion house last July.
Simons was poached from Jil Sander last year to replace disgraced John Galliano, who has since made a comeback at Oscar de la Renta.
Despite the snowy weather outside Simons' fairytale-inspired Spring/Summer 2013 collection was airy and ethereal with models looking like fairies flitting around in an enchanted garden.
A-listers who attended the show included actresses Sigourney Weaver, Jessica Alba, and Rosamund Pike, top models Laetitia Casta and Natalia Vodianova, as well as former French First Lady Bernadette Chirac and the current French First Lady Valerie Trierweiller.
