Fashion Week Spring 2010: Christian Dior

Oct 7, 2009 / Posted in Christian Dior Handbags, Fashion by Amanda Mull.

Dior 13 If you don’t think that John Galliano is a mad genius and we’re just all lucky to be living in the same world with him, then you haven’t been paying attention.

For Spring 2010, his collection for Christian Dior connected beautifully to the retro-and-structured-underthings look that he had showed earlier this year during Haute Couture week, and the 40s film noir looks were exactly what you would expect a dizzy dame to wear when walking into a smoky private eye’s office.

Galliano knows his audience for Dior, and I could see them buying up these ultra-glam cocktail dresses and floating evening gowns hand over fist. And not only are they beautiful, but they so thoroughly inhabit the brand’s history and mythology while still incorporating modern touches like tough leather bombers. The past and present meld gorgeously into looks that are not only art objects, but are also impressively wearable, for the most part. You know, if you go to those types of events.

Absolutely breathtaking! Looks like Galliano injected a little couture fantasy into Dior RTW. Thanks for doing these fashion show recaps! As much as I love seeing the clothes…I’m too lazy to scroll through the slideshows online.

I love 3, 13, 14, 16 and 18. I think 3 and 14 are my faves. 13 is stunning, but it would only work for special occasions; I don’t think I could pull off that much hot pink for a simple evening out. 14, though, definitely.
