While certain brands like Moschino, Céline, and Louis Vuitton are guaranteed street-style bait, Raf Simons’s work at Dior was more of a sleeper hit. He built up momentum slowly — earlier seasons only warranted a photo or two — but it’s been an explosion in the past year. Back in 2013, you had Ulyana Sergeenko, who decided to combine a fall 2012 dress with a spring 2013 couture bonnet in an overly dramatic way that only she could pull off. The other Russians followed suit, like Miroslava Duma, who wore a resort 2014 dress, and Nasiba Adilova, who casually added a T-shirt to a fall 2013 skirt.

And then came the spring 2014 couture show, where Simons decided to create a fashion-people-friendly luxury sneaker. Since sneakers were the biggest street-style trend at the time, suddenly it felt like everyone was wearing Dior. Fast-forward to the present and you can instantly tell which day is the Dior show, simply based on the sheer number of Golden Peacocks wearing the brand.

Click ahead to see an exhaustive review of the best of Dior worn by the street-style elite.
