In the late afternoon of Monday, April 9th, the Belgian designer Raf Simons has been nominated as artistic director of Christian Dior, after the dramatic departure of John Galliano in March 2011. Raf Simons will be responsible for the haute couture, the women ready to wear and the accessory line from the haute couture show in July. He will continue to design his own menswear eponymous label, while Kris Van Assche will remain at the head of Dior Homme. &#8220;Mi sento fantasticamente bene&#8221; ha detto Simons raggiunto al telefono del suo studio di Anversa. &#8220;E&#8217; una grande sfida e un sogno andare da Dior, sinonimo di eleganza, femminilit\u00e0 e lusso assoluto.&#8221; Raf Simons \u00e8 stato scelto da Bernard Arnault, presidente e amministratore delegato di LVMH Louis Vuitton Mo\u00ebt Hennessy per modernizzare Dior, portando il suo stile iconico nel 21\u00b0 secolo e sostituendo il fascino dell&#8217;immaginario da boudoir di John Galliano. \u201cI feel fantastic,\u201d Mr. Simons said by telephone from his studio in Antwerp. \u201cIt is one of the ultimate challenges, and a dream to go to a place like Dior, which stands for absolute elegance, incredible femininity and utter luxury.\u201d. Raf Simons has been chosen by Bernard Arnault, chairman and chief executive officer of LVMH Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy to modernize Dior, bringing its iconic style in the 21 st century and replacing the boudoir&#8217;s imaginary by John Galliano. Come riportato dal&nbsp;NYTimes, si vocifera che la figlia del magnate, Delphine Arnault, abbia avuto una grande influenza nella scelta. Ms. Delphine Arnault \u00e8 infatti una modernista convinta con un debole per le collezioni C\u00e9line (altro brand del gruppo LVMH) ed \u00e8 colei che ha proposto di aggiornare le iconiche borse Dior con una collaborazione con l&#8217;artista grafico berlinese&nbsp;Anselm Reyle. Non resta che augurare buon lavoro a Raf Simons, ma soprattutto a Dior di trovare una nuova identit\u00e0 pur mantenendo fede alla grande eredit\u00e0 del marchio. As reported by the&nbsp;NYTimes, rumor says that the tycoon&#8217;s daughter, Delphine Arnault, has been influential in the choice of Mr.Simons.&nbsp; Ms. Delphine Arnault is a convinced modernist with a penchant for C\u00e9line collections (another brand of the LVMH group) and she is the one who proposed to upgrade the iconic Dior bags thanks to a collaboration with the Berlin graphic artist&nbsp;Anselm Reyle. Good luck to Raf Simons, but especially for Dior to find a new identity, but remaining faithful to the great heritage of the brand.","og_url":"https:\/\/www.thefashioncommentator.com\/it\/2012\/04\/flash-news-raf-simons-at-dior.html","og_site_name":"The Fashion
