Designed by Galliano and absolutely imensely droolworthy IMO!

Just look at those shapes!

Take away all the frills, get to the basics and you have very vintage-looking garments. I shall be interested to see how these translate to the stores.

ETA: you'll probably get a really annoying Vera Wang pop-up!

STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I wouldn't give to wear some of those dresses....and of course have a party to go to fabulous enough to wear them to!

Gorgeous!!
I thought it looked like a kimono inspired line even before I read the review.
Some of the trappings are exact copies of origami art, print patterns traditional patterns used for kimonos, and hair style reminscent of old Japanese hair style.

Oh Mr. Galliano, you're so deliciously over the top. What an amazing collection! I love to see Dior's couture, it makes me forget about all the logo covered bags that I hate.

 

[Amelie]

this is definitely one of my ever favourite dior collection
I have to find a very rich husband NOW so I can star my own couture dresses museum!

 

[BettyValentine]

I love it! When the pics first started popping up I shouted "Oh my god, it's like Cecil Beaton did Mikado!"

It's so theatrical. But now I feel so much less original for using kimono fabric and vintage patterns together. Le sigh!

I love the silhouettes. Are we back into the New Look now? I only just got the memo about empire...

 

[Paisley]

I too like the Funky Little Fashion Troll.

I dont like the black outfits. I think the colors help the designs of the clothes better than the neutrals.

Altho I see the inspiration, I can do without alot of the hand painted designs on the fabric as well. With the dynamic cuts of the carments, I feel in many cases it takes a way from the shape of the gowns.

The underyling classic cuts of the collection are lovely. I also want one of those origami lilies for a wicked hat

The shoes, to me now, are shockingly horrible.

The shoes are obviously inspired by geta, the two teeth wooden clog, an informal footwear for kimonos. Neither do I fancy those.lol
As for origami lilies, I can send you a directive if you want to make one for yourself. I believe you are creative enough to make a hat out of one.

The lily is in the foreground.

Oh I took origami in high school. But thanks Yeah I know the shoes are based on traditional footwear, but those are just ugly lol

They teach origami in school now? My, my, how times have changed. I must be getting too old lol lol lol
Not only do the shoes look ugly, I wonder how one can walk in them without tripping.

 

[Amelie]

I love this lilly, I used to make it when I was 10, but now I have completely forgot how to do it, I think I'll have to borrow some origami books soon lol

(so if I've done it so young, you can know that you'll be able to achieve it )

*must... go... shopping... for some kimono fabric *

Hmmm, maybe I should put on sale some that I have stocked up for myself.lol lol

P.S. The present Japanese Consul General in Montreal is a friend of mine, only he will be transferred out at the end of Feb, too bad.

 

[Amelie]

oh, where will he be transfered?

Somebody told me once where to find stores that sells japanese traditionnal item, but I've lost the paper before I could visit them

(but if you happen to sell some of your fabric, pleaaseeee let me know )

 

[Lauren]

I love this one:

Too bad they're not making another Star Wars movie- they remind me so much of what Natalie Portman wore in some of them I love them!

 

[Amelie]

this is the one I'd love to wear, but in a kind of casual way

but there are some other models, more complex, that I also love
just like those three with all the different layers :essen:

 

[MissHuff]

J'adore Dior... lol

Those designs are fabulous. I wish I could just walk around all day in coutoure. Could you imagine seeing someone walking down the street like that? I would stop in my tracks and with jaw to the pavement. Kinda Lucy Goes To Paris-ish haha. burlap sacks for coutoure.

 

[TheKitschGoth]

I think I'm in love!
