The House of Dior has been an enduring icon of Haute-Couture. When the talented Marc Bohan took over as head designer in 1960, he continued the Dior tradition of elegant design. This beautiful four-piece ensemble which was featured on the cover of L'Officiel is a perfect example of his talent. The fabrics used for this garment is breathtaking; textured apricot boucle-wool and rich choclate silk-velvet. The dress is a short-sleeve sculpted a-line cocktail with a chic over-sized belt design. The jacket is a nipped-waist asymmetric side-closure silhouette which can also be worn as a fabulous separate! As Dior said, "I will only say now that elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care and simplicity." This luxurious set is a wonderful mix of these elements.
