Its quite interesting how I would have to view a Christian Dior couture show without John Galliano. He was considered to be one of my all time favorite designers with his strong theatrical Victorian inspired aesthetic. During the time Paris Fashion Week was slowly being approached, I was skeptical whether they will reveal a couture collection or not. The collection turned over a new leaf.
The collection exudes 1960’s fashion with its gingham, houndstooth print and draping of the dresses. There were some ensembles with beaded crystals, embroilment flowers, and sheer gowns delivering a sexy nostalgic appeal. I am personally glad to see Dior being back in the scene.

Very impressive and refreshing – love the use of that iconic shape.
