Dior Spring/Summer 2011 Haute Couture

I have fallen in love, hard. Absolutely head over heels. I’m in love with the Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2011 Haute Couture Collection. Designed by John Galliano (who is currently suspended as Dior’s head designer after he made anti-semitic remarks in Paris) who was inspired by RenĂ© Gruau, the collection screams 1950s glamour. It is dark and dramatic and appeals to my theatrical side. It brings together elements of the put-together housewife, which there seems to be a bit of a fascination with recently, but turns the whole thing on its head, turning that wholesome image into one of a dark, dangerous femme fatale. The red/black pieces are smoking hot and every single look is all brought together by one of my favourite things in the world – red lipstick. And I LOVE the use of the obi belts to cinch in the waist. But I’ll stop now – you have a look at the clothes and fall in love with them for yourself.

    Such a waste of incredible talent! I love this collection too. You can definitely see how it’s inspired by Gruau.

    Fucking LOVE. It’s been ages since somebody has actually sent some decent clothes down a catwalk.
