Stunning Dior

"I can't help it. The gorgeous, layered ruffles, shiny and sheer fabrics, embroideries, luxurious fur and the soft and deep colors from the Dior Fall 2011 ready-to-wear collection have got me swooning. I can only dream about letting my hands glide over the delicate, detailed and soft fabrics during a re-see of the immaculate pieces shown during Paris Fashion Week. These images made in the showroom obviously encourage that daydream. It looks like Dior heaven there..Seeing the pieces swirling around the models on the catwalk makes the daydream even more complete. I can't hold my eyes of it(Fake or not) the bouncing fur, long coats, hats, wavy hair and dark lips looks so amazing.."

 In light of John Galliano’s recent anti-Semitic remarks and his subsequent firing from Dior, focusing on the fall 2011 collection for its actual garments and not the controversy surrounding its ex-creative director is surely a difficult task. Nevertheless, the show must go on, and the show did go on this Friday with models parading down the runway in Galliano’s signature romantic Parisian flair. The color palette took was very autumn with deep burgundy, gothic black and emerald greens. Towards the end, the designs became more light and airy, showcasing ruffled dresses that were a cheeky cross between lingerie and evening wear.
For the finale, the label’s design atelier took to the stage–signaling the end of an era for Dior. John Galliano’s successor has yet to be named and with only speculation so far, it looks like the fashion world will have to wait for some time yet before Dior’s next chapter begins.
