The show brought a contemporary Dior back to the venue of earlier triumphs in 1954 and 1958, when shows attended by Princess Margaret introduced austere, post-war Britain to the style and beauty of French fashion at its most sofisticated.
Some of the pieces made references to British hunting styles, and countryside elegance, but overall the effect was more French than English.
