John Galliano presented an exquisite Christian Dior collection yesterday. I saw a tribute to Christian Dior's original 'New Look' from the 40s mixed with old Hollywood glamour and a sprinkling of Japanese sensibility, a wonderful combination if you ask me.
Bold, subtly theatrical looks trotted down the catwalk in a crayola box of colors. Skirts were both full and slim and tiny waists were accentuated. Glamour elements were: big dazzling jewels, gloves, fur trim and Veronica Lake curls. Clean, animated origami folding took the collection to a further far away land than Tinsel Town. This collection was surprisingly wearable and gorgeous - sure to be a hit with the fashion elite.

Outrageous as usual
1Is it just me or does she look like a he?
2those are absurd.
i love it.
3love the make up
4Love some, hate some. Very theatrical. HATED the makeup. What's with the neon lipstick? Also, I agree with kendal that a lot of the shes looked like hes. (I think it was probably the makeup)
5WOW.
Okay, first, I am in love. This collection is incredible.
Two: Where were these dresses on Oscar night? I was SO BORED, BORED, BORED with everyone that night.
Three: Genius as he may be, Mr. Galliano clearly has not gotten the memo about anorexic models being bad for national security.
6I love the first handful gowns, esp the burgundy dress with all the folds. Gorgeous.
But I agree. Why does John Galliano insist on using such extreme makeup on his models? It distracts from the clothes.
7I liked the white one and the burgundy one with the frill but I don't think that I would wear most of the others just for the simple fact that I don't attend anything that would contest to me wearing the dress(es) on a daily basis. I liked his styles better than Stella McCartney's by far but I wouldn't be caught dead in that make-up! Who wears that lipstick anyways? It looks more like a nail polish color.
8Love, love, love these pieces! Dior always makes my heart sing. So elegant and unique. Lightyears beyond the rest. The colors, the fabrics, the cuts are all gorgeous!
9oh wow... that pink dress looks so tacky.
10i do not like this collection!
This dress is beautiful!!
