"  Photo: Billy Farrell Agency Though Raf Simons has given us plenty to pine over at the helm of Dior, the brand&amp;#039;s revamped boutique in Bergdorf Goodman is an ode to the Parisian fashion house&amp;#039;s beginnings. To f\u00EAte the new outpost, Bergdorf Goodman and Dior threw a cocktail party for the fashion set to feast their eyes on the newly minted space, as well as Simons&amp;#039;s debut pr\u00EAt-a-porter collection for Spring 2013. On hand was Linda Fargo, Bergdorf&amp;#039;s senior vice president and women&amp;#039;s fashion director, who wore one of the collection&amp;#039;s top pieces, a voluminous and iridescent rose-print skirt. The new shop space is modeled after the famous Avenue Montaigne boutique in Paris, where Dior had his atelier in 1947. The small adaptation of Dior&amp;#039;s 13,000-foot flagship is first and foremost, an ode to gray, which was one of Christian Dior&amp;#039;s most symbolic shades for decor, as it sets off the high-octane color palette of his couture. The shop also boasts a similar neo-Louis XVI style with silver and charcoal gray boudoir furniture, mirrored tables, and naturally, fresh flowers\u2014another Dior signature.  The boutique opening also coincides with the launch of Bergdorf Goodman&amp;#039;s Fifth Avenue windows, which are devoted entirely to Dior&amp;#039;s Spring 2013 collection and showcase many of the runway looks. The display was brought to life by mid-century furniture designer Jean Roy\u00E8re and features architectural elements of Dior interiors with dream-like distortions. The nuanced storefront array has already become a spectacle for midtown window shoppers.  Photo: Julien Boudet  Photo: Julien Boudet Read the latest breaking fashion news.
