Today, the House of DIOR continues to find inspirations in the designer's own superstitions: while Raf Simons designs
iridescent taffeta gowns with crystal flints, this autum's make-up collection 'Mystic Metallics' adorns the face with magically glimmering colours. This autumn,
Tyen, Creator of Colours for DIOR makeup, presents his version of the Dior woman sporting subtle, changing shades, and a touch of magic.
A LUCKY STAR
"Chance always steps in to help people who truly desire something",
wrote Christian Dior in his memoirs. Chance indeed stepped in for him
when one day in April 1946 he tripped over a metal 5-pointed star, while
walking in the street. At the time, he was considering giving up his
career as a fashion designer and saw the star as a sign of destiny: he
agreed to meet Mr. Boussac, the king of cotton, and went on to open his
house of couture.

SHADOWS AND LIGHT
A small dot of colour, a concentration of glints, shine and contrasts.
Diorshow Fusion Mono is revolutionising make-up: its gel-foam texture
brightens the eyes with a faceted shade, and long-lasting radiance.
Applied using the fingertips, the eyeshadow delivers a subtly sparkling
effect, but its colour intensifies if it is applied to the skin using a
blending brush. The eyes are dressed in mystery. Etoile, Hypnotique,
Aventure, Chimère or Météore... From dense black to deep purple, from
midnight blue to flamboyant amber, these eyeshadows are enchanted with
magic.
ROSY CHEEKS
The Diorblush line is being overhauled and extended: its case is more
slender, and reveals a new shape, presenting the coloured powder with a
new texture that leaves a veil of pure colour on the skin. Cheeks flush
with pleasure when the colour pigments are applied. From Coral Cruise to
New Red, the thirteen shades add a hint of joy to the appearance

GLIMMERING GLINTS
Iridescent eyeshadow, 5-colour make-up palette with metallic shimmers,
magnetic nail lacquer and passion-coloured lipstick ... This autumn, see
the Dior woman through the eyes of Tyen, Creator of Colours for Dior
make-up, as he adorns her with subtle, changing shades, and a touch of
magic. "The harmonies that I have created for this look reflect the
mysterious colours of the galaxy. A journey from the Earth to the moon",
explains Tyen. On this occasion, the 5-colour palette is given a new
look with mauve and silver (864 Constellation), blue-green and brown
(384 Bonne Etoile), and reveals eyeshadows sculpted with Christian
Dior's lucky star. From greyish pink to plum, lacquers have eternal
names (Destin, Galaxie) and for the very first time, reveal a magnetic
sheen which glimmers and changes in the presence of a magnet. Lips are
illuminated with bewitching colours of Dior Addict Extreme and Dior
Addict Gloss, adorning smiles with delicious and mysterious radiance,
from precious pink to dramatic purple.

'“I think it’s time to free couture,” declared Raf Simons as he came up from hugging a delighted Jennifer Lawrence amid the backstage melee of congratulations after his third Christian Dior couture show. “It annoys me that couture is thought of as the circus
clown of fashion,” he continued.'
