Fittingly, the theme of Monday's Christian Dior haute couture show was a return to the atelier — both geographically and creatively — in a collection almost exclusively realized in black and white.

It was a color juxtaposition that the late Monsieur Dior himself loved. But it was at heart a strong care-taker in a show that played it safe.

Bella Hadid, the new Dior makeup spokeswoman, walked in the show wearing a black deep V dress.

Interim designers Serge Ruffieux and Lucie Meier linked the monochrome to their personal creative elemental duality, masculine and feminine, in a show that riffed on menswear tailoring and draping, delivered on rather low-key sandal flats with reductive Cleopatra-style eye make-up.

There were experimentations with the archives in the 45 looks. They included modern variations on the New Look, the style that made Dior's name in 1947 and reintroduced material lengths to European audiences following the restrictions of World War Two.

It made for a creative play in one loose, delicate Bar Jacket embroidered with sequins and silver thread and elsewhere on a skirt in ecru wool silk that had a creative dropped voluminous feel.
