Battle of the Dior: Von Teese vs. Bellucci

As expected, Dita showed up to the Christian Dior couture show looking gorgeous and dramatic as ever. Only she can wear a pastel color like lavender and make it look so bold! Monica is also a sight for sore eyes and a tad goth in her asymmetrical black gown with train. Both looks rock my world. Who gets your vote?

Battle of the Dior: Coppola vs. Green

Didn't we just say pink is the new black? Nothing says drama, and fun, like a daring fuchsia dress. Sofia looks more primped than usual and is in full-force red and fuchsia Dior - awesome. Eva decided to really pile on the drama with a Japanese-inspired getup from Galliano's Spring Dior couture collection. The winner depends on whether you're into a more girlie look or you're a drama queen. You decide!

Battle of the Dior: Hudson vs. Alba

Last night John Galliano's couture collection for Christian Dior took place at Versailles - yes, the Versailles - and some fabulous celebs turned up Dior-clad for the show. It's the perfect time for a Dior face-off...let's get ready to rumble!

On one end we have Kate Hudson in a Grecian style one-shoulder yellow gown. On the other end we have Jessica Alba, who looks like a genie in her boat neck fitted white column dress. Two youthful starlets, two totally different Dior looks. Who wins?!

Fall 2007 Couture: Christian Dior

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 10:10:50 -0700

The haute couture show is always an extravagant event in itself, but when you're celebrating your 60th anniversary like the house of Christian Dior was yesterday, you really go all out. 1,000 people were invited to the show, asked to adhere to a dress code of "extreme elegance," and treated to somewhat of a supermodel reunion (Naomi, Linda, Gisele, Helena, Amber, but sadly no Kate), all of which took place - on top of everything else - at L'Orangerie at Versailles.

But then John Galliano has never been one for the minimal runway show approach - never from a man who ends his show by walking out in full matador costume! The collection itself took influence from the age-old pastime of creating living portraits, and sent his models out dressed as though they had walked out of an Impressionist, Pre-Raphaelite or Goya painting - bounties of billowing fabric, rich colors and corsetry. Other models, like Gisele, were a walking image of black and white photography. Like any Galliano show, there were hits and misses, but all in all, a wonderful tribute - to both the great Dior, and the great masters of art.

Rest In Peace, Yves Saint Laurent

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 05:00:22 -0700

We are sad to announce that legendary Yves Saint Laurent has passed away. The 71-year-old French designer who had been battling brain cancer died in his home in Paris. Yves started his career at the early age of seventeen and has grown to become one of the most influential fashion designers in the world. He began designing at the house of Dior at the early age of 21 and went on to creating his own label YSL, in 1962. He created numerous iconic fashion trends including Le Smoking suit, also known as the women's tuxedo. Rest in peace Yves Saint Laurent. We will miss you dearly. Please take a moment to view our tribute to the famed designer. Source
