The new Dior Pre-Fall 2016 collection was released today.
Here is the review from Vogue.com: http://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/pre-fall-2016/christian-dior
As far as bags go, the Diorever and Diorama are featured prominently, with updates, especially in the case of the Diorama which now features an oversized lock on some versions. I really like the disproportional lock!

If Raf Simonss departure from Dior in October charted high on the industrys Richter scale of shake-ups, theres been next-to-no rumbling from the maison since. As such, the Pre-Fall offering qualifies as news (well take what we can get). Created internally, the collection came unaccompanied: no front person, no point of departure, no theme or particular mood. But that doesnt mean it lacked interest.
Arguably, there was considerable appeal to such an anticlimactic effort; its not every day that you find a mink coat treated with real gold worn beneath an army green trapeze coat. This tendency to double up while playing down provided a clever way to emphasize precision of proportion, and to communicate style over fashion. In a sense, the collection seemed to fetishize the mythic Dior codes less than ever, instead planting certain detailsbe it a tulip silhouette on a parka or a bejeweled bee on a shirt collarto ensure that nothing felt ordinary. Jackets featuring dropped-waist basques, pants finished with broderie anglaise, wisps of lace enhancing the femininity of leather, and oversize mother-of-pearl buttons proposed novelty without risk. Notably, the strongest evening option asserted its allure from behind.
Regardless of the situation behind the scenes, the overall statement benefited from a particular sangfroid, the Parisian equivalent of keep calm and carry on. Still, for no other reason than the coatsall of them, reallythe collection registers well.
