Have you ever thought about that? Like Dior and other old fashion houses, the creative director needs to be responsible for the design of 8 series every year, such as Dior in the period of Raf Simons, each season may involve 150 kinds of fabrics and nearly 100 styles. So where does the inexhaustible creative inspiration of designers come from?

Taking Dior as an example, let's first take a look at Maria Grazia Chiuri's early spring 2018 collection for Dior, inspired by the western wilderness and Lascaux Cave paintings.

But in fact, as early as 1951, Mr. Christian Dior has played with mural elements, Maria Grazia Chiuri borrowed from the original called "Ovale" series.

Taking on an established fashion house is always a challenge for designers, and paying homage to the past is a necessary step. The dreamy navy blue of Dior Autumn/Winter 2017 collection is Maria Grazia Chiuri's tribute to Mr. Dior.

To say that in recent years the creative director changes the most frequent brand, Dior is definitely selected among them. From John Galliano, Raf Simons and now Maria Grazia Chiuri, they naturally do not miss the exploration of this treasure house of fashion.

The opening looks of Dior's Spring/Summer 2017 Haute Couture collection were Maria Grazia Chiuri's homage to the New Look, with simple silhouettes that outline the waist and captivating masks that look like contemporary fairies themselves.

Raf Simons handed over his first report card in office through the exploration of Bar Jacket. While continuing his own style, he brought back the classic silhouette with wide hem and the three-dimensional flower wall that everyone loves, which is really quite romantic.

Of course, we can't forget the dramatic era of John Galliano. The classic New Look profile can extend a changeable new image every season in his hands. While being unrestrained, he does not forget the essence, which still looks exquisite and gorgeous now.

And Balenciaga, helmed by Demna Gvasalia, is always able to do something new, like in the autumn/Winter 2017 show he taught us to button up to the shoulder to be fashionable.

There are also a few slightly different evening gown looks, but the colorful Knife boots on the models' feet tell us that this is still Demna Gvasalia's Balenciaga.

These misfit dresses are actually Demna Gvasalia's tribute to Balenciaga's 100th anniversary, and the 2.0 version of these classic designs has been changed very little by Demna, except for the matching black-and-white striped oversized shopping bags.

This feather dress also comes with the same oversized shopping bag that Eskimos can consider incorporating.

There is also this black and white polka dot dress, which can also be found in the archive of the brand.

Change the color, lengthen the backswing.

This dress is the most suitable for evening dress, and the fluorescent green boots are quite prominent.

Cristobal Balenciaga and Gvasalia have a lot in common, judging from the fact that they don't intend to make clothes for ordinary girls. In recent years, Balenciaga has had a lot of trouble with creative directors, and we have seen different designers refer to the past classics.

From Nicolas Ghesquiere to Alexander Wang, Balenciaga's most famous cocoon contour has been borrowed, and the degree of restoration can be said to be quite high, and the overall outline has become more modern.

Nicolas Ghesquiere, who contributed to the brand's classic motorcycle bag, took inspiration from Cristobal Balenciaga's mid-century designs for the Balenciaga Autumn/Winter 2012 collection, with the wide-brimmed hat at the end clearly inspired by the world-famous wedding dress.

Dries Van Noten also chose to pay tribute to the past in the autumn/Winter 2017 collection, not to others but to themselves, because this is the 100th show of his eponymous brand, in addition to the return of the old supermodel, the most colorful prints are also back, or enhanced version 2.0.
