Christian Dior’s Haute Couture collection was inspired by Renaissance paintings- simple, yet dramatic. It was a beautiful, ethereal collection… just imagine what it would look like in motion…. can’t wait for the runway shows to come back! photos: Vogue

Lots of LEOPARD PRINT at Dior this season… it’s like the quarantine has turned us into CATS… lounging at home, waiting to be entertained and fed. It’s Life imitating Art, I guess… or it could just be the FELINE effect of the new Wonder Woman film. Either way… LOVE IT! …

Dior’s collection this season was very boho… which isn’t really my favorite look. I miss the John Galliano days of Dior with the quirky glamour and highly stylized ballgowns. The past few seasons at Dior reminds me of a nature-loving hippie that spends her time at expensive yoga retreats. A …

Dior had a collection that returned back to its roots with simple, French elegance…. lots of black, strong modern structure, and fishnet veils reminiscent of the 1930s. It was beautiful and effortlessly chic. The final look was a model wearing a gold house…a nice unexpected ending to an otherwise ‘safe’ …

Belgian designer Raf Simons (formerly of Christian Dior – remember those awesome sequined sneakers? That’s him!) has been reconstructing Calvin Klein for the past year.

I’ve been watching Delpozo for a a few seasons now and love how the origami tailoring is so distinct to the label. Delpozo has really proved themselves to be able to hang with the big boys of fashion. Now that Raf Simons has exited Dior, perhaps Delpozo’s Josep Font can …

And just like that, Christian Dior went back to being the matronly label you’d find at the Mature Women’s section of Syms. Seriously, if they can coax back John Galliano to design again for Dior,with a bottle of wine and a collection of sharpies to draw on his mustache, then …
Read More »Christian Dior – Fall 2011 Couture- Galliano’s absence is totally noticeable…
Ever since John ‘Heil’ Galliano got fired earlier this year, the House of Christian Dior has been merde -ing their pantalons on getting couture right. In my opinion, no one can compete with Galliano’s craftsmanship and ultra-precise cuts, not even the 2 relatively unknown designers it took to complete this collection. …
