Dior’s new Artistic Director Raf Simons covers the Summer 2012 edition of i-D Magazine shot by Willy Vanderperre and styled by Olivier Rizzo. The cover of the “Lights, Camera, Action” issue is the first of eight to be released.

“At Jil Sander it was very much about purism and minimalism. Yes, I like minimalism very much, but it’s not the only thing I like. At Dior, you don’t have that restriction. Dior celebrates femininity, elegance and nature. It will be an interesting development for me and a greater structure to tell my story.” – Raf Simons
